Etymology of Polemannia:
For Peter Heinrich Poleman (Polemann, Pohlmann) (c 1780–1839), German chemist, apothecary and keen naturalist. He came to the Cape in 1802 and made friends with botanical explorers and collectors such as William John Burchell, William Henry Harvey, Georg Ludwig Krebs and Martin Lichtenstein, who also came to the Cape in 1802 for three years and with whom Poleman collected on Sunday walks. Poleman joined the pharmaceutical firm of which he was a partner, Pallas & Poleman. They employed several botanists and collectors such as Krebs, Peter Jonas Bergius, CF Drège and Ecklon and shipped consignments of wildflowers and animal specimens to Europe, and particularly Germany. He died in Cape Town.
