Etymology of Roodia:
For Petrusa Benjamina Rood (1861–1946), South African plant collector. She attended school in Clanwilliam, and one of her friends was Marian van Wyk, who later became the wife of Rudolf Marloth (1855–1931), the noted pharmacist, analytical chemist and botanist. Rood became a keen collector of seeds, succulents and bulbous plants, which she sent to Kew Gardens and various South African collectors. She also sent grasses to General Smuts. Many of her plants were illustrated and appeared in the early volumes of The Flowering Plants of South Africa.
