  • Etymology: "From the Greek chryso- (golden) and phoinix (purple-red), in reference to the striking combination of gold and purple in the perianth; phoinix also referring to the plant's ability to sprout from its rootstock after fire, just as the fabeled phoenix could arise from its own funeral pyre. The Latinised form phoenix is preferred for the botanical epithet."
