The generic name is adopted in honor of the late Racine Foster (1910-1991) who, with her husband Mulford Foster, collected more than 200 new species of bromeliads, founded the Journal of the Bromeliad Society, and authored the book, Brazil, Orchid of the Tropics. She was a remarkable woman and her dedication to the study of bromeliads was an exemplary and lifelong endeavor. It gives us great pleasure to name our new genus after her. (English)
