common name: Woodstock Wattle [n/a]
  • Etymology: "The botanical name is derived from the Latin levatus (raised or elevated) and refers to the more strongly raised nervature of the phyllodes than is characteristic of related taxa. The common name reflects the occurrence of most populations of A. levata on the Woodstock-Abydos Reserve, a reserve vested primarily for the purposes of 'preservation of Aboriginal cultural materials' with the Mumbultjari Aboriginal Corporation."
