Etymology of Diospyros:
Gk. dios = divine; pyros = literally, a ‘grain of wheat’ but in this instance fruit. The fruits are ‘divine’ – edible and very tasty. This name was originally applied to the Caucasion persimmon, Diospyros lotus.
Etymology of galpinii:
Named after Ernest Edward Galpin (1858-1941), a South African botanist and banker. He left some 16,000 sheets to the National Herbarium in Pretoria and was dubbed "the Prince of Collectors" by General Smuts. Galpin discovered half a dozen genera and many hundreds of new species.
