I can't find a source for this, but I suspect that the term "bozu" used for the Globe Amaranth in Hawaii is probably derived from Japanese: see Teru teru bozu, for example. I think the Japanese thought the round heads of the flowers looked like the round heads of bald Buddhist monks. *shrug* If anyone can find a source, please add this neat little tidbit to this article.
