Etymology of Ornithogalum:
Gk. ornithos = bird; gala = milk, presumably referring to the colostrum-like, high fat secretions produced by the Colombidae (‘pigeon’s milk’) and stored in the crop for feeding the young. Maybe this somewhat resembles the gooey sap that exudes from the cut stems. Some authors suggest that the name merely refers to the milky whiteness of some flowers, while ‘bird’s milk’ to the ancient Greeks was a colloquial expression for something wonderful.
Etymology of juttae:
Named after Jutta Dinter (1871-1949), the wife of Professor Dinter (1868-1945), who was resident in Namibia from 1897-1914 and was the first botanist appointed by the German colonial administration in Namibia at the time.
