common name: Bromilow's Wattle [n/a]

• Etymology: "This species is named for Robert (Bob) Neil Bromilow, who, as Technical Officer to Stephen van Leeuwen (see A. leeuweniana) provided excellent field and laboratory assistance over 17 years in the Pilbara. The support provided by Bob was pivotal in the completion of several large scale botanical surveys the most noteworthy being the 'Botanical Survey of Hamersley Range Uplands', 'Biological Survey of the South-western Little Sandy Desert' and the current 'Pilbara Biological Survey'. Bob was also instrumental in maintaining and curating the collection at the now disbanded Pilbara Regional Herbarium in Karratha."
