Etymology

Latin Robbinsiōrum ‘of the Robbinses’. W. Hubert Earle: “During a family hike, the plant was first noticed by Jimmy Robbins, who called his brother John to see it, and he in turn called their father, James Robbins, to identify it. For this reason, the specific name robbinsorum was chosen to honor all three members of the Robbins family”.

The original spelling robbinsorum is correctable to robbinsiorum under article 60.8(b) of the International Code of Nomenclature.
