Etymology

Browallia is a Latin-style plant name made from a botanist's last name plus the common ending -ia, which shows 'belonging to'. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine a scientist's name attached to the bright blue or violet flowers, which is why Browallia now names this group of tropical flowering plants.
