Etymology: Rocio: Named for the author's wife. In Spanish, the name means morning dew, in allusion to the resplendent spots on cheek and sides of some species, R. gemmata; ocotal: Named for the lake where the species lives (the Spanish word 'ocota' meaning 'an ocote forest', 'ocote' being a species of Pinus); noun in apposition.
Eponymy: Rocío is a Spanish word for ‘morning dew’, an “image evoked by the resplendent spots on cheek and sides of some species”; Rocío is also the name of Juan Schmitter-Soto’s wife. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
