[Cnidaria] New eponym question

[Hans G. Hansson]

Dear cnidariologists,

Thank you for the informative answers recently to my question about  
Nomura in the medusa name Nemopilema nomurai.

This time another similar question regarding the actiniarian genus  
name Alicia,  described in 1861 by the British botanist,  
ichthyologist and cnidariologist James Yate Johnson, 1820-1900,  
likely from Madeira, where he lived. I have not seen the description,  
so possibly he may there have explained which lady named Alice or  
Alicia he honoured?

Best wishes and thank you in advance  for  possible help.

Hans G. H.
