Etymology of Brownanthus:
For Nicholas Edward Brown (1849–1934), British botanist at Kew Gardens from 1873. Although he never visited South Africa, he became an expert on African plants, particularly succulents. In 1921 he was awarded the Captain Scott Memorial medal in recognition of his work on South African flora and in 1932 an honorary DSc was conferred on him by the University of the Witwatersrand. His papers appeared mainly in the Kew Bulletin and in Flora Capensis.
