Etymology of Wachendorfia:
For Evert Jacob van Wachendorff (1702–1758), Dutch physician and botanist. He studied medicine in Leiden and Utrecht, becoming a doctor of medicine in 1724, and became municipal physician of Utrecht (1726–1758). During this period, he also became a lecturer in chemistry at Utrecht University (1726–1743), then professor of medicine, chemistry and botany (1743–1758). He also became a director of the Botanical Gardens of Utrecht. Among his publications was Horti Ultraiectini Index (1747) and Oratio Botanico-Medica de Plantis Immensitatis Intellectus Divini Testibus (1743). He was a good friend of Clifford and Linnaeus.
Etymology of thyrsiflora:
Thyrsiflora is derived from the Ancient Greek thyrsos (θύρσος; meaning a 'contracted panicle, wreath, or thyrsos') and the Latin floris (gen. 'flower'), and so, thyrsiflora means approximately 'with flowers arranged in the shape of a contracted panicle or thyrsos staff'.
