Etymology of Acacia:
Gk. akakia (a-kakos) = not good. Gk. ake, akis = a sharp point; probably refers to the spines (stipules) that are typical in many of these genera. The name given by early Greek botanistphysician Pedanius Dioscorides (c 40–90) to the Egyptian thorn, Vachellia nilotica, for its medicinal properties. However, this name remains controversial, and Southern African ‘Acacias’ are divided into two genera.
Etymology of engleri:
After Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler (1844-1930), botanist from Berlin. He instigated and contributed to multiple prodigious botanical flora of both the world and Brazil. He visited SA three times and Namibia once. He developed the most famous 'Engler' system of botanical arrangement by which many herbaria were arranged.
