Etymology: "The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word ventosus (windy), and pertains to the continuous strong winds that buffet and shape the vegetation at Cape Melville Range. These very winds prevented revisitation of this specific locality in 2014 in an attempt to source further material and to ascertain the population extent."
