高雄染, Takao-zome, means "Takao Dye." As a seedling of Takao-beni, this is probably a reflection of the historical use of "some"=dye to signify especially fine Autumn coloring. See Takao for more on the meaning of that name. As usual, the rendaku consonant change turns the 's' into a 'z' when spoken on the interior of the word. (ED)
