Etymology of Protea:
Gk. After Proteus, a mythological sea-god, who could change his form at will, taking new shapes. Seemingly Linnaeus was so over-awed by the variety of plants sent to him from the Cape that he named the genus Protea. The authors could not confirm this.
Etymology of mundii:
Johannes Ludwig Leopold Mund (1791-1831), pharmacist, botanical collector and later land surveyor. He was sent to the Cape as an official plant collector by the Prussian government. He visited Knysna and Plettenburg Bay east as far as Uitenhage.
