Maslin, B.R., van Leeuwen, S. & Reid, J. (2010), Wattles of the Pilbara: - [secondary reference]
common name: Mosquito Creek Wattle [n/a]
  • Etymology: "The species name is derived from the Latin fecundus (fruitful, fertile, prolific) in allusion to the large number of pods produced. The common name acknowledges the Mosquito Creek Basin, a restricted geological feature of Achaean age located to the east of Nullagine that is overlain by the Mosquito Creek Formation. Almost all populations of A. fecunda are restricted to the Mosquito Creek Basin."
