Etymology of Thunbergia:
For Carl Pehr (Peter) Thunberg (1743–1828), Swedish botanist, physician, student of Linnaeus, professor of botany and medicine at Uppsala University (1784–1828). He visited the Cape (1772–1775) to study Dutch and the Cape’s flora, natural history and social history, and did extensive botanical exploration in the southern Cape where no botanical collecting had been done, amassing some 3 100 species. In 1775 he went to Japan, Java and Sri Lanka for 15 months. Thunberg published Flora Japonica (1784), his travel diaries (1788–1796), and Flora Capensis (in parts between 1807–1820). He presented his herbarium of 23 510 specimens and 25 000 insects to Uppsala University. He was made a knight of the Royal Order and received many honours.
