Etymology

Stizolobium as a genus name can be broken into parts like stizo and lobium, with lobium sounding like lobe, which means 'part' or 'leaf section'. So to remember the genus Stizolobium, imagine warm-climate vines and herbs with divided leaves and clusters of showy flowers, which is exactly what these plants are.
