    Is anyone familiar with a cascading laceleaf called 'Augustilobum'?
    Checking Vertrees/Gregory and Esveld etc I cannot find this name.
    Thank you.

    I think I might know what is going on here. I have made the exact same mistake in the past when originally typing the name of this plant in my cultivar list. I would venture to say that you are actually seeing Acer palmatum dissectum 'Angustilobum'. When looking at the label, it is easy to misread and think that you see 'Augustilobum', especially if you know that there is another 'Angustilobum' that is synonymous with 'Atrolineare'. Look at the photo of the label and you see how this mistake could be replicated by someone else. I will post pictures below:

    Note - this is the label that was on the plant when I purchased it.
