Remarks
doi:10.3897/phytokeys.146.48321 The specific epithet commemorates the Mt. Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary; hamigitan translates as 'a fig tree place'. When constructing the specific epithet for Gymnosiphon, the goal was to express 'from fig-mountain'. Fig-tree is translated to Latin as “syce” (συκη, feminine) and mountain as “oros” (όρος, masculine), thus giving 'syceoros' (Stearn 1992). Using one of the recommended adjectival endings for geographic epithets with a masculine termination yields 'syceorosensis'.
