Etymology of Augea:
Name unexplained by Thunberg (1794) but surely most likely after King Augeas of Elis, whose vast and filthy stables were cleaned by Hercules. J. Auge was superintendent of the Company's garden in Cape Town about this time and certainly corresponded with Bergius. Auge can mean bright in Greek, summit in English and a lens-shaped metamorphic rock.
Etymology of capensis:
From the Cape Province of South Africa, previously known as the Cape Colony. -ensis is a Latin adjectival suffix meaning “pertaining to or “originating in,” Thus these organisms were first discovered in the Cape. In the early days of exploration this epithet was frequently applied to anywhere in South Africa or even Southern Africa
