Etymology:
"The specific epithet refers to the phylogenetic and landscape position of the species. It appears to be a classic wet-country relict comparable to the tingles (E. guilfoylei, E. jacksonii, E. brevistylis – Wardell-Johnson and Coates 1996), being an early branching lineage together with E. virginea and E. lane-poolei of the E. series Curviptera."
