  • APC Dist.: WA
  • Etymology: "Named after Richard T. Hubbard, who prepared a detailed manuscript for the entire Myrtaceae of Western Australia. Little of this great undertaking was published (see Hubbard 1976: 41 [ i.e. Western Melaleuca - digest of Western Australian species. Australian Plants 9: 15-27 & 35-41.]) but the whole work is preserved in the Department of Parks and Wildlife library. The part of the manuscript dealing with Thryptomene was submitted to the then expert on the genus, John Green, for comment in 1979."
