Etymology

The word Hymenanthera comes from Greek parts hymen meaning 'membrane' and anthera meaning 'anther', the pollen part of a flower. So the name describes the plant's thin 'membrane' around its anthers, which helps you remember it is a group of slender evergreen shrubs from Australia and New Zealand.
