Etymology

Whitlavia is a rare name; a helpful way to remember it is to split it into Whit, a short name, and lavia, which sounds like 'lavender', so you can picture someone named Whit holding blue-violet flowers. That's why whitlavia is the name of a desert plant with bright blue, tube-shaped flowers.
