Etymology of Ruschia:
For Ernst Julius Rusch (1867–1957), Namibian farmer, businessman and plant collector. He came to South-West Africa (Namibia) in 1890, where he grew succulent plants and later established a nursery at Lichtenstein, near Windhoek, Namibia. He and his son Ernst Franz Rusch Jnr (1897–1964) made many collecting trips together. He was one of the founders of Windhoek, and was given freedom of the city on his 60th birthday.
Etymology of bolusiae:
Named after Louisa Harriet Margaret Bolus (nee Kensit) (1877-1970). Great grand-uncle Harry Bolus appointed her as Curator of his private (now Bolus) herbarium in 1903, a post she held till her retirement in 1955 at the age of 77. In 1912 she married Frank Bolus, Harry's youngest son, also a keen amateur botanist. She specialized in Ericaceae, Orchidaceae, Iridaceae and Mesembryanthemaceae.
