Etymology

Petteria comes from the personal name Petter plus the plant-name ending -ia, a common way to honour people in plant names like Gardenia or Camellia. So Petteria can be remembered as 'Petter's plant', which fits because it is the name for a group of flowering plants called the Dalmatian laburnum.
