common name:
Witchetty Bush [n/a]
Etymology:
"The botanical name is from the Rev. Friedrich Adolph Hermann Kempe (1844-1928) co-founder of the Hermannsburg Mission in the Northern Territory, who sent about 600 plant specimens to Ferdinand von Mueller in Melbourne, including the type of A. kempeana which was gathered in 1879 from the Finke River. Note: The application of the Kurrama name Pilarri to A. kempeana by Wangka Maya [in Kurrama Wordlist and Sketch Grammar p. 19] (2001) is probably a mistake resulting from a misidentification of a plant of A. atkinsiana."
