Etymology

Antheropeas likely mixes the root anthero-, meaning 'anther' or 'flower part', with a second piece that looks like -peas, which you can think of as 'small plants'. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine little flowering herbs with visible anthers, which fits its meaning as a small genus of North American herbs.
