  • Etymology: "The epithet is derived from the Latin abdico to disown, renounce or resign, and alludes to the absence of the corona or 'crown'. This is in apposition to the generic name Calostemma, from the Greek calos beautiful and stemma garland or crown, which refers to the conspicuous golden staminal corona of the type species."
