Etymology of Polygala:
Gk. poly = much; gala = milk; so-called from the belief that cattle grazing in fields with this plant produced more milk. (San Marcos growers in the United States claim that Polygala virgata ‘Portola’ has this property but the authors could find no scientific evidence).
Etymology of rogersii:
Named after Rev. William Moyle Rogers (1835-1920), clergyman and specialist on Rubus. He was brought to the Cape by Bishop Gray in 1860 and appointed vice-principal of Bishop's College (Bishops) in Cape Town. His holy orders stationed him at Riversdale from January - June 1860, at George from June 1860 - September 1862 and then briefly at Caledon from October 1862. His whole cape collection is stored at the British Museum.
