Etymology: "The epithet, antennifera, is from the Latin alteration of antemna (sail-yard; the pole supporting the sail of a sailing ship), The term was used by Aristotle in the plural antenmae to translate the Greek keraioi (paired horns of insects), being the thin, movable sensory organs or 'feelers' found in pairs on the heads of some organisms and fero-to bear, in reference to its long lateral, semi-erect, antennae-like appendages towering above the main body of the flower."
