Asparagus
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]}
From the Greek aspharagos, the name given to the edible Asparagus. A wide-spread genus which is greatly in need of revision. The root-system is an important character in the grouping, but owing to the inadequacy of the existing descriptions and the imperfection of the type specimens, correct identification is often very difficult. The flowering seasons seem to depend very largely on habitat. Some of the spiny species are called Wag-’n-bietjie.
Asteraceae
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]}
Named after the genus Aster. The name Aster comes from the Ancient Greek word ἀστήρ (astḗr), meaning "star", referring to the shape of the flower head.

Bobartia
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]}
For Jacob Bobart (1599–1680), German botanist and the first horti praefectus (superintendent, head gardener) of the Oxford Physic Garden; which cultivated medical herbs; the first garden of its kind in England. He was the author of Catalogus Plantarum Horti Medici Oxoniensis, sci Latino-Anglicus et Anglico-Latinus (1648); a catalogue of 1600 plants that were in the garden. His son, Jacob Bobart the Younger (1641–1719), succeeded his father as horti praefectus and became acting professor of botany at Oxford.
Brabejum
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]}
Derivation uncertain, possibly Gk. brabeion = sceptre; referring vaguely to the shape of the starlike leaves which can be made into a ‘crown’ in the same way that bay or laurel leaves were made into a ‘crown’ awarded to winners at the Pythian games held at Delphi.

He amassed a vast herbarium of East Indian plants. No further details are known.
