The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with plant names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. APNI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature.

Etymology: "The leaves of this species are persistently "exposing, displaying", Latin "exponens" (present participle), the undersurface between the narrow central vein and revolute margins, as referred to in the epithet. The epithet is therefore derived from the same verb "exponere" as the epithet of the closely related species, H. exposita (past participle), although in the two cases applied for different reasons." -
