His name, Belamcanda, was given to him by Michel Adanson. A name previously imposed by Hendrik Van Rheede had included it to IXIAS alluding to the form of the corolla. But as most other Ixia have tubular flowers, the name of these should stop being significant. Subsequently a genre was created Moroea Chinensis quickly abandoned from which it only kept the common name which remains in certain works. Belamcanda des Morées is one of the many names from spoken in Malabar being part of the long list of local names given by Hendrik Van RheEdE2.
