Etymology of Metarungia:
Gk. meta = after, beyond; Rungia (q.v.). This genus was originally called Macrorungia but had to be renamed when that name was found to be illegitimate. So this new name was ‘after’ Rungia(Acanthaceae).
Etymology of galpinii:
Named after Ernest Edward Galpin (1858-1941), a South African botanist and banker. He left some 16,000 sheets to the National Herbarium in Pretoria and was dubbed "the Prince of Collectors" by General Smuts. Galpin discovered half a dozen genera and many hundreds of new species.
