Etymology

The word Kolkwitzia comes from the name of a German plant scientist, Kolkwitz, plus the Latin ending -ia that means 'belonging to' or 'a plant of'. So Kolkwitzia literally means 'Kolkwitz's plant', which fits because this Chinese shrub is often called the 'beauty bush' for its pretty flowers.
