Etymology of Kiggelaria:
For Francois (Franz) Kiggelaer (1648–1722), Dutch botanist, apothecary, traveller, plant collector and curator of Dutch plant collector Simon van Beaumont’s garden in the Hague (some sources refer to Leiden), and author of Horti Beaumontii Catalogus Plantarum Exoticarum (1690), which listed Cape plants. He also collaborated with Frederik Ruysch (1638–1731), a Dutch anatomist and professor of botany at the Hortus Botanicus of Amsterdam, with the compilation of the first volume of Jan Commelin’s (1629–1692) Amstelodamensis Rariorum Horti Medici published in 1697, dealing with mainly the plants of the West Indies.
Etymology of serrata:
From the Latin serratus = ‘serrated’ or 'saw-toothed'. Each tooth is angled more on one side than the other (forward pointing) as compared with dentate which is equally angled on both sides forming triangular teeth.
