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 kraussii:
For Christian Ferdinand Friedrich von Krauss (1812–90), German naturalist, explorer and collector. In 1838, Krauss, an apothecary with a PhD in mineralogy, zoology and chemistry from Tübingen and Heidelberg (1836), sailed for the Cape. Here, he collected many specimens, especially molluscs and crustaceans, but also made a study of the geology, flora and fauna. From 1838–1839 he explored the areas between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth and in 1840 the bush and seashore around the Congella River, Pietermaritzburg. He left to join the Natural History Museum, Stuttgart, in 1940, becoming its director in 1956. He wrote Die Südafrikanischen Crusaceen (1843) and Die Südafrikanischen Mollusken (1848).
