Named after the vivid red spots, similar to incandescent pieces of a brazing; Brazil’s country name (Brasil in Portuguese), where the species is endemic, originally has a similar derivation (name given in recognition of the reddish colour of the wood of a large Brazilian native tree - Caesalpinia echinata, 'Pau-Brasil' in Portuguese); noun in apposition.
