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.

Named after Ernest Edward Galpin (1858-1941), a South African botanist and banker. He left some 16,000 sheets to the National Herbarium in Pretoria and was dubbed "the Prince of Collectors" by General Smuts. Galpin discovered half a dozen genera and many hundreds of new species.
