Etymology: "The specific epithet is based on the Latin calidus (warm or hot) and –issimus (very) and is a reference to the wine growing locality of Pokolbin where this species occurs. The origin of the name ‘Pokolbin’ is uncertain, but is thought to be either from the native Darkinjung language meaning ‘very hot place’, or was a term used to describe the working conditions in the area by early Hungarian immigrants during the 1800s, which they referred to as being ‘in the hell’ (Geographical Names Board of New South Wales 2018). Either reference is applicable to the chosen epithet."
