Etymology: "Rather than the commoner interpretation of ‘claviflora’ – clubbed flowers – the epithet is from the Latin clavus, a purple stripe or band decorating the tunic worn by persons of state in Ancient Rome and –flora, flower; referring to the deep purple bands visible on the ventral side of throat of the corolla tube that extend into the tube."
