Ana(Wood)

The hybrid name, Nama Ana for the Acacia Albida (Smith 1966 cnsap 62), and English -wood = wood, tree, apparently given by Mr Runcie who had his homestead at a beauty model of anabome on the weak. According to the Adressbuch of 1939, Anawood-Nord and member form part of the Otjimbingwe reserve of at the time (1939). Theo Hahn's abna is possibly enrollment error for Anna.

afr Die hibridiese naam, Nama ana vir die Acacia albida (Smith 1966 CNSAP 62), en Engels -wood = hout, boom, is klaarblyklik gegee deur die eienaar Runcie wat sy opstal gehad het by ’n pragmodel van anabome aan die Swakop. Volgens die Adressbuch van 1939 vorm Anawood-Nord en -Slid deel van die Otjimbingwe-reservaat van destyds (1939). Theo Hahn se Abna- is moontlik inskrywingsfout vir Anna-.
