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

• Etymology: "This species is named for Malcolm Trudgen, botanist, who has a particular interest in the Pilbara and the family Myrtaceae. Over the past 30 years Malcolm has collected extensively in the Pilbara during the course of his many vegetation and flora surveys of that area (e.g. Trudgen and Casson 1998, Trudgen 2002). It was Malcolm who first drew our attention to the existence of this new species, although he was not the first to collect it."
