  • Type: Weeli Wolli Creek, c. 90 km north-west of Newman, Western Australia, 22 54'S, 119 13'E, 28 August 1991, D.E. Murfet 1097 (holo: PERTH 04980328; iso: MEL).
  • Etymology: The specific epithet weeliwolli is from the Australian Aboriginal words meaning "we are water running" or simply "running water". The type location along Weeli Wolli Creek falls within the region used by the linguistic group known as the Nyiyaparli (sometimes incorrectly spelt Niapaili). This nomenclatural information was provided by Gordon Uline, a senior law person in this language group and communicated to us by Dr Stephen van Leeuwin, CALM, Karratha.
