Naming
The name "coleus", still widely used by horticulturalists and gardeners, refers to a defunct genus, and may be regarded as a common name for this species in particular. The name ''Solenostemon scutellarioides'' is similarly widely used for this species.The specific epithet ''scutellarioides'' means "resembling the genus ''Scutellaria''", whose name is itself derived from the Latin ''scutella'', meaning a small dish or bowl.
