Etymology of Vernonia:
For William Vernon (1666–1711), English botanist and bryologist, fellow of St Peter’s College, Cambridge, graduating with a BA (1688) and MA (1692); a Fellow of the Royal Society, who collected plants in Maryland, Virginia, North America, in 1696 with the English Reverend Hugh Jones (1671–1702) (a replacement for John Banister, who was accidently shot dead while collecting plants in 1692) and Dr David Krieg (1669–1710), German surgeon and botanist, a correspondent of Petiver. All together they collected more than 650 plants from Maryland.
Etymology of bainesii:
Likely named after the English painter and explorer (John) Thomas Baines (1830-1875) who co-discovered Welwitschia mirabilis; or Thomas Charles John Baines (1830-1893), a South African road engineer who built over 900km of roads including many of the famous passes in South Africa; or less-likely English botanist Henry Baines (1793-1878) who published the Flora of Yorkshire (1840).
