I can find no reference to either epithet for Rosmarinus officinalis in
the books I have at hand. As a cultivar name 'Folia Luteomaculata' would translate as yellow spotted leaves, while 'Folia Aurea' simply means yellow leaves. There is no rule on descriptive correctness for scientific (or cultivar) names and either one could have been applied in the past but apparently is not currently accepted. In recent times such Latinized names have not been used, but there are examples from older cultlivars.
