Etymology of Bolusafra:
For Harry Bolus (1834–1911), English-born South African botanist, botanical artist, stockbroker, and plant collector who arrived in South Africa in 1850. He started collecting in 1865 and organised six major collecting expeditions within South Africa, Mozambique and Swaziland during 1883–1904. He had a passion for orchids, writing, inter alia, the three-volume work Icones Orchidearum Austro-Africanum Extra-Tropicarum (1893–1913), the third volume published posthumously. He founded the Bolus Herbarium and bequeathed his library to the (now) University of Cape Town, as well as sufficient funds to develop a chair of botany. He was a Fellow of the Linnaean Society, and member and president of the South African Philosophical Society (later the Royal Society of South Africa).
