 Behind the Name: Message: "Re: Jacquine"
2.Jacquin(i)a looks a LOT like 'Jacquin', which is the name of a famous botanist (the Dutch born Austrian Baron Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin (1727-1817), who was professor of botany and chemistry at the University of Vienna).
Needless to say this is a more probable origin of the plant-name than some unknown word from a native language.
On the plus side, I'm fairly sure I now know the origin of Jacquina: it is like the French name Jacquine, which means the same as Jacqueline.

The Bauer brothers acquired their first taste of scientific botanical study with the arrival of Father Norbert Boccius, Abbot of Feldsberg, in 1763, producing over 2000 watercolour drawings of plant specimens under his guidance.
Further training was to follow in Vienna as Franz and Ferdinand provided illustrations for Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin at the Schönbrunn Imperial Gardens.
Ferdinand began new adventures abroad in 1786 after meeting the Oxford Professor John Sibthorp, while Franz accepted a lucrative offer from Sir Joseph Banks, who was effectively director of Kew Gardens.
