etymology of tree name " styphnolobium japonicum " ]
[ "The etymology of the scientific name Styphnolobium japonicum is derived from Greek and Latin words.
Styphnolobium: The genus name is a compound of two Greek words:
styphno or stryphno, meaning "sour" or "astringent".
lobion (a diminutive of lobos), meaning "pod" or "capsule".
This refers to the sour or astringent taste of the pulp within the fresh seed pods.
japonicum: The specific epithet is a Latin term that means "of Japan". This name is a result of a historical misconception; the tree was originally introduced to the West from specimens found in Japanese gardens and around Buddhist temples, leading early botanists to believe it was native to Japan. The tree is, in fact, native to China and Korea. "]
