Etymology of Faurea:
For William Caldwell Faure (1822–1844), South African botanist, soldier and naturalist, teacher of mathematics at the South African College, Cape Town (now the University of Cape Town), made a special study of the genus Oxalis, went to India for the East India Company and became an ensign in the Second European Light Infantry. He died in an ambush at the early age of 22. He was praised by William Henry Harvey, who predicted that had he lived he would have become a fine botanist.
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.
