Acacia wilsonii R.S.Cowan & Maslin , legitimate, scientific
Cowan, R.S. & Maslin, B.R. (8 June 1999), Acacia miscellany 17. Miscellaneous new taxa and lectotypifications in Western Australian Acacia, mostly section Plurinerves (Leguminosae: Mimosoideae). Nuytsia 12(3): 449-451 BHL [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "10 km north of Badgingarra, Western Australia, 2 November 1965, P.G. Wilson 3850 (holo: PERTH 00723754; iso: K, PERTH 01160060)."
  • Etymology: "The new species is named for Paul G. Wilson, collector of the type material but, more importantly, our respected colleague at PERTH who, for more than 30 years, has given us and many others the benefit of his vast knowledge of plant systematics, of Latin and of the 'International Code of Botanical Nomenclature'. We welcome this opportunity to express our gratitude by naming this very interesting wattle in his honour."
