APNI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature.

APC Dist.: WA

Etymology: "The botanical name is derived from the Latin arrectus (upright) in allusion to the characteristically erect phyllodes, peduncles and pods. The common name Yarnda Nyirra Wattle is from the Yindjibarndi peoples name for the Fortescue River and thus reflects the distribution of A. arrecta which is almost entirely restricted to the Fortescue sub- region of the Pilbara. The Yindjibarndi people are the traditional owners of the lands in the west Pilbara around Millstream on the Fortescue River."
