Etymology of Lampranthus:
Gk. lampros = bright, shining; anthos = flower; referring to the light reflecting off the glossy petals.
Etymology of watermeyeri:
Possibly named after Egidius Benedictus Watermeyer (1824-1867), a judge and founding member of the Cape Legislative Assembly. A number of pictures of succulents housed at the Bolus Herbarium are are drawn by an E.B. Watermeyer. However these are mainly species described by Louisa Bolus and therefore there may have been a later EB Watermeyer who this name refers to.
