Etymology of Nestlera:
For Chrétien Géofroy (also Christian Gottfried) Nestler (1778–1832), Alsatian botanist, professor of botany and pharmacy, faculty of medicine, chief pharmacist of the hospitals of Strasbourg and director of the botanical garden of Strasbourg in 1816. He wrote a thesis on Potentilla. He studied in Paris under Louis Claude Marie Richard, a French botanist. With JB Mougeot, he made a fabulous collection of plants of Alsace and the Vosges. In 1830 he discovered, on the banks of the Rhine, the moss Trichostomum viridulum from the family Pottiaceae. He was a prolific author of both botanical and pharmacologicial works, which included Index Plantarum quae in Horto Academ. Argentinensi (1818).
Etymology of acerosa:
It is likely from the Latin acus = 'sharp', frequently referring to the leaf, though it could also allude to the Greek acus = 'chaff' or 'full of chaff', referring to the husk of wheat.
