Etymology.

This species commemorates Australian botanists Brendan Lepschi (1969-) and Anna Monro (1974-), in recognition of their tireless service to the botanical community through providing expert nomenclatural and taxonomic advice and maintenance of the Australian Plant Name Index (https://biodiversity.org.au/nsl/services/APNI), a truly invaluable resource that lists published Australian vascular plant names and key citations in the literature.
