  • Etymology: "From the Latin corymbus (a cluster of flowers) and -formis (-formed); having an inflorescence with the general appearance of, but not necessarily the structure of, a true corymb. This is a reference to the inflorescence of this species which is an unusual one for the genus, in that the flowers are pedicellate with the pedicels becoming progressively shorter towards the top of the inflorescence."
