Etymology: "The species name acknowledges Robe River Iron Associates who provided generous financial support to the study of Pilbara Wattles through the West Angelas Coondewanna West Environmental Offsets Agreement. This support enabled the authors to undertake a five year study of the Pilbara Acacia flora which has resulted a number of publications (including the present one) to be produced. More recently Robe River Iron Associates through its assets manager Pilbara Iron, in collaboration with two other mining companies, has provided considerable financial support to a three-year study of the complex Acacia aneura (Mulga) group."
