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.

Etymology: "The species name is derived from the Greek drepanon (sickle) and karpos (fruit), presumably because the pods were originally described by Ferdinand von Mueller as 'subfalcate' (i.e. slightly curved). However, this would seem to be an inappropriate name for this species as the pods are more typically straight (except following dehiscence where the pod valves are recurved). The subspecies name is derived from the Latin lati- (broad, wide) and -folius (leaved) in allusion to the broad phyllodes that distinguishes this subspecies from the typical subspecies."
