==Etymology== The synonym ''Balizia'' is a taxonomic anagram derived from the name of the confamilial genus ''Albizia''. The latter name is a taxonomic patronym honoring the Italian nobleman Filippo degli Albizzi, who introduced ''Albizia julibrissin'' to Europe in the mid-18th century.<ref name="Burkhardt2018">{{Cite book |last=Burkhardt |first=Lotte |title=Verzeichnis eponymischer Pflanzennamen - Erweiterte Edition.
