  • Etymology: "The word pigea is thought to be based on the Greek pygia meaning buttocks. This naming was perhaps an illusion by Gingins de la Sarraz to the form of the stamens in P. monopetala; however, this cannot be corroborated. An alternative explanation is that the word pigea is based upon the French word piger and is the third person singular form of that word. The word piger is derived from pigeō (annoyance, reluctance); however, any obvious relationship to its possible use for the generic name remains obscure."
