• Etymology: "From the Latin squama (scale), apparently in reference to the hypogynous scales on the nut. This is the defining characteristic of the genus, and the scales are not unusual in this species. The holotype also has distinctive scale-like bracts on the adventitious rhizome, but these are not mentioned in the original description."
