1899 J. M. Wood & M. S. Evans Natal Plants I. ii. 47 The genus Gerbera contains about 40 species... The well known ‘Barberton Daisy’ (Gerbera Jamesoni)..belongs to this genus.

1932 R. Marloth Flora S. Afr. III. ii. 282 The best known species is Gerbera Jamesoni [sic] from the Eastern Transvaal, commonly called Barberton daisy, now cultivated in many varieties of colour and foliage.

2017 Annales Botanici Fennici 54 410/1 Fireweed's strong disease resistance makes it a candidate to serve as a parental material for developing new cultivars by hybridizing with the horticulturally popular Barberton daisy (G. jamesonii).

1916 Homestead (Bloemfontein) 5 July 25/1 I am very anxious to see if the flowers will have increased in size, for they are every bit as decorative as Barbertons.

1953 J. Hoyle Some Flowers of Bush 8 The Mountain Barberton is found in grasslands at high elevation. Flowers are clear yellow and about 1 in. across.

1960 C. Lighton Cape Floral Kingdom viii. 61 Outside the Union our Barbertons are commonly called gerberas.

2020 L. Stern Diary of Detour (e-book ed.) xxiv My aunt Irene cried when, learning to ride a bicycle, I careened into her bed of Barbertons.

3. South African slang. Frequently with lower-case initial. An illicitly brewed alcoholic drink of varying composition, typically brewed from bread, malt, sugar, yeast, and warm water. Before 1962, black South Africans were legally prohibited from producing, selling, or consuming most types of alcohol; this type of alcohol was thus chiefly produced and sold at unlicensed establishments.

1934 Bantu Stud. Mar. 56 The analyses of Native liquors..show that the disparity in the alcoholic content of mqombothi, babaton, and shimeya is not very appreciable.

1948 Cape Argus 27 Mar. 9/5 The constable said in his evidence that ‘Barberton’ was a concoction of warm water, bread, yeast, kaffir corn and sugar, which had fermented for at least six hours.

1960 J. J. L. Sisson S. Afr. Judicial Dict. 84 The ingredients of barberton drink are uncertain, but it must contain yeast and mealie-meal.

1972 Drum (Johannesburg) 8 Mar. 13 Every boozer who has downed methylated spirits or barberton knows the gnawing fear of going blind or mad.

1987 M. Melamu Children of Twilight 9 Baba Nhlapo had three great passions: horse-racing, an illicit brew called ‘Barberton’, and fish-and-chips, in that order.

2007 Star (S. Afr.) (Nexis) 12 Oct. 21 Many people also drink local concoctions, not unlike barberton, that makes people act ‘like Clive Barker when Bafana's scored a goal’.
