Foong Si Qi is a named selection associated with Malaysian grower S. S. Foong. The Taiwanese horticultural book 鹿角蕨日記簿：栽培與觀賞 (Staghorn Diary) credits Foong with raising and cultivating it, and reports that the Taiwanese plant businesses 花草空間 and 佳和蘭園 jointly purchased the mother plant.
Staghorn Diary states that the plant was named after S. S. Foong’s daughter, Foong Si Qi, and prints the Chinese name 馮詩淇. It is also known as 捲捲鹿, referring to its curled appearance. Haruhana, a Taiwanese plant nursery, confirms that FSQ is also a name used for Foong Si Qi.
