Etymology: "The epithet honours Dr John Beard (1916– 2011) who published a number of botanical works — in particular vegetation maps — which I found most useful when I commenced botanizing in Western Australia in the late 70s. He also wrote the book Plant Life of Western Australia (Beard 1990) which, when I delve into it, brings back pleasant memories of field trips."
