Etymology: The specific epithet, a substantive in genetive [sic] form, is derived from the name of the neighbouring locality Woods Well, which was named by Thomas Burr, Deputy Surveyor-General of South Australia, on 18. June 1844 after a 'Mr Wood' (Geographical Names Unit 2000-). The latin fons means well or spring.
