[botanicalrealm.com] Etymology, Taxonomy: The name Cordylanthus is derived from the Greek words kordyle, meaning club, and anthos, meaning flower. The species name kingii honors the American botanist and explorer Dr. William King. Hence, the name can be interpreted to reflect its club - shaped flowers alongside a nod to its discoverer - a fine way to commemorate its rich botanical history! (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
