Etymology of Smelophyllum:
For Timofei Andreevich Smielowski (Timotheus Smielovsky) (1769–1815), a Russian pharmacist and botanist. He studied medicine at the Imperial Academy of Sciences in St Petersburg. In 1802, he was hired by the university as an ‘adjunct’ professor to teach but was not a full member of the faculty. He authored Hortus Petropolitanus seu Descriptiones et Icones Plantarum ... Part 1 (1806). In 1815, he was promoted to full professor of pharmacy at the Medico-Surgical Academy in St Petersburg. Gk. phyllon = leaf; presumably meaning ‘leaves like those of Smelowskia, a Northern Hemisphere genus also with pinnate leaves’ (Palmer).
