Etymology authors: "peltifer, -a, -um, meaning ‘carrying a pelta’, referring to the chaetigers 5-7 bearing flat, rounded discs. Also, pelta (Gr. πέλτη, a thin, rounded shield) is the stem of the Latin word peltatus (peltate), used to refer to a type of insertion of the petiole in the lamina of some leaves (e.g. in species of Nelumbo Adanson, 1763 or Umbilicus de Candolle, 1801); the central insertion of the stalk at the lower surface of the disc matches this kind of insertion."
