I tried all these from IPNI for fun.
Guess what, same names with angustifolia also exist!!! So I didnt add
that information.
Eg.

Iresine augustifolia Euphrasen Beskr. St. Barthel. 165.
Iresine angustifolia Hort. ex Moq. Prodr. (DC.) 13(2): 343. 1849

Fockea augustifolia K.Schum. Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 17(1-2): 146. 1893
Fockea angustifolia K.Schum. Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 17(1-2): 146. 1893 [9
May 1893] ; in IK Suppl. 1 as 'augustifolia'

In both case seems, second names are valid. I didnt try for rest.
