Etymology of Craibia:
For William Grant Craib (1882–1933), British botanist who studied at Aberdeen University obtaining an MA in 1907. In 1908 he was appointed acting curator of the herbarium at the botanic garden in Calcutta (now Kolkata), and of the library of the Royal Botanical Society, but returned to Kew Gardens in the following year as assistant for India at Kew. During his early years, he lectured on forest botany (1915–1917) and on forest botany and Indian forest trees (1917–1920). In 1920 he became a professor of botany at Aberdeen University, a position he held for 13 years. He was an authority on Asiatic flora, especially Primula Indigofera and Enkianthus, and authored Contributions to the Flora of Siam (1912) and Florae siamensis enumeratio (1925). He was also an authority on systematic botany and previously had published a book on the Flora of Banffshire (Scotland), his native county.
