Etymology of Justicia:
For James Justice (1698–1763), Scottish horticulturist and writer and owner of two estates, Justice Hall (Berwickshire) and Crichton (Midlothian), where most of his gardening experiments took place. He introduced many ornamental plants to Scotland and cultured new varieties, including the first pineapple in Scotland. He spent large sums in importing foreign seeds, roots and trees; collecting tulips was one of his passions. He authored a well-received book, The Scots Gardener’s Director (1755), a work based on his practical experience of fruit gardening relating to the soil and climate of Scotland. His passion for introducing new plants brought about his financial ruin, and he had to sell his house and garden. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society.
