Etymology
Astroloma comes from Greek parts astro- meaning 'star' and -loma meaning 'fringe' or 'edge', and it shares the astro- part with astronomy. A helpful way to remember the name is that the small, tube-shaped flowers often look like little stars or have a fringed edge, so the name points to their star-like blooms.
