Dear friends, I searched the net and some books available with me, to find meaning of *Erythropalum*. While Greek *erytho* is well known to be mean "red", could not find what *palum* in context of the genus name stands for. *I have a feeling that it may be connected to red dehisced fruit.*
*Palus*, in Latin would be plural form of *palum*. In Wiktionary, *palus* <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/palus> seems to have range of meanings: swamp, marsh, morass, bog, fen, pool ... stake, prop, post. Please help. Regards.
