Unusual among South African plants in the name being derived from the vernacular Dutch, "baviaantjie", Afrikaans "bobbejaantjie" or its Cape corruption "babiaantjie". The baboon, bobbejaan, is partial to the corms.
Etymology of bainesii:
Likely named after the English painter and explorer (John) Thomas Baines (1830-1875) who co-discovered Welwitschia mirabilis; or Thomas Charles John Baines (1830-1893), a South African road engineer who built over 900km of roads including many of the famous passes in South Africa; or less-likely English botanist Henry Baines (1793-1878) who published the Flora of Yorkshire (1840).
