Short etymology:
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.
