Etymology of Clivia:
For Lady Charlotte Florentia Clive, Duchess of Northumberland (1787–1866), the granddaughter of Baron Robert Clive (who founded the British Empire in India), and who for some time was the governess of the future Queen Victoria. Clivias were first discovered in 1815 by the naturalist and explorer William Burchell in the forests of Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Additional plants were collected in the same area in the early 1820s by plant collector and Kew gardener James Bowie, under the direction of Kew botanist James Lindley who named the plant ‘Clivia’ in 1828.
