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 buchubergensis:
From the Buchuberg mountain in the Richtersveld near the Namibian/South African border. Buchu is the common name for members typically of the genus Agathosma, though in this case it is likely a different plant entirely as the Rutaceae are not known from there.
