Etymology

The word idesia comes from the botanical name for an Asian ornamental tree. A helpful way to remember it is to hear idesia like the English word idea — think of a 'garden idea' that grows into a tree with heart-shaped leaves and bright orange-red berries, which is why gardeners plant it for decoration.
