Taxonomy The species was first described in 1899 by Sidney Alfred Skan. Skan spelt the specific epithet augustinii. This was intended to commemorate the collector, Augustine Henry. Under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, this spelling is not an acceptable Latinization of "Augustine", and was corrected to augustinei. Another possible correction would be augustini.
