It would appear the name kalwerbossie is derived from kalwers as the
plant was used by the Hottentots for the cure of some diseases in
cattle ...
Please be aware, as I mentioned to John when editing the revision of his
book, that "Hottentot" is a pejorative name (like "Redskin" for Native
Americans) that is no longer accepted in written works. An acceptable name
for the entire group is Khoisan.
