Another plant with a #greatname that calls for an explanation. One pictures poor Mr. Flyr hopelessly entangled in the vines, calling weakly for help lol

@emch Most sources I found simply said the origin for the name was a mystery. The story according to the Alabama Plant Atlas (although it’s described more as a rumor) is that Flyr was a graduate student working on the Brickellia genus out west. Before his committee would let him graduate, they insisted that he personally visit populations of this rare eastern member of the genus. While searching for the plant in southwest Georgia, he was killed in an automobile accident.

If true, that disaster would explain it perfectly, @treefrog44
