Etymology

Peltandra is made from two old parts: pelt- meaning 'shield' and -andra meaning 'male', a common ending in plant names. A helpful way to remember it is to picture the plant's wide, shield-like or arrow-shaped leaves in the marsh, which is why the name fits these North American water herbs.
