Etymology of Tinnea:
For Henrietta M Tinne, her daughter Alexandria Tinne (1835–1869) and her sister Adrienne van Capellen, all from Holland, who undertook a scientific expedition to explore the Nile. They left Europe in 1861 and explored part of the ‘White Nile’ during 1862. In 1863, they were joined by two botanists, Theor von Heuglin and Hermann Steudner. The party set out from Khartum to explore how far westward the Nile basin extended. Once they reached the limits of navigation, they went overland and suffered from fever (malaria?). Steudner died in April, Henrietta Tinne died in June, and Adrienne van Capellen died on returning to Khartum. Alexandria subsequently tried to cross the Sahara in 1869. Between Murzuk and Ghat, Libya, she was murdered. It was an ill-fated group.
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.
