English translation:violet corolla
Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petal#Corolla
Corolla forming a tube with long points (and a separate green calyx tube)
The role of the corolla in plant evolution has been studied extensively since Charles Darwin postulated a theory of the origin of elongated corollae and corolla tubes.[1]
If the petals are free from one another in the corolla, the plant is polypetalous or choripetalous; while if the petals are at least partially fused together, it is gamopetalous or sympetalous. The corolla in some plants forms a tube.

Violácea in this case refers to the color
