The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with plant names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. APNI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature. For a listing of currently accepted scientific names for the Australian vascular flora, please use the Australian Plant Census (APC) link above.

Type: "north-west of Newman, Western Australia [precise locality withheld for conservation reasons], 7 November 2012, J. Naaykens J969 - 11 - 12 (holo: PERTH 08423032; iso: CANB, L, NE)."

Etymology: "This epithet refers to the Hamersley Range, to which the species is restricted. This mountainous area of Proterozoic sedimentary ranges and plateaux dissected by gorges is the jewel in the Pilbara crown of landforms. Highly significant within the arid lands of Western Australia, the Hamersley Range provides unique biological habitats and refugia, and consequently is an important zone of endemism and biodiversity (Pepper et al. 2008 [i.e. Pepper, M., Doughty, P., Arculus, R. & Keogh, J.S. (2008). Landforms predict phylogenetic structure on one of the world’s most ancient surfaces. BMC Evolutionary Biology 8: 152])."
