Etymology of Chironia:
For Chiron, the good ‘civilised’ centaur of Greek mythology who studied medicine, astronomy, music and other arts. When he was accidentally shot, legend has it that Zeus, the god of sky and thunder, put him in the south at Alpha and Beta Centauri, pointers to the Southern Cross; referring to the plant’s medicinal properties.
Etymology of baccifera:
From the Latin ‘bacci’ / ‘bacca’ meaning ‘berry’; and the Latin ‘fera’ / ‘ferus’ meaning ‘bearing’.
