Etymology: Phyllopteryx: Greek, phyhllon = leaf + Greek, pteryx = wing, fin (Ref. 45335); dewysea: Named for Mary ‘Dewy’ Lowe, for her love of the sea and her support of seadragon conservation and research.
Eponymy: Mary ‘Dewy’ Lowe was honoured “for her love of the sea and her support of seadragon conservation and research”. She is the co-founder of the Lowe Family Foundation. The binomial apparently combines her nickname with the English word ‘sea’. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
