  • Etymology: "the species is named for Gordon J. White (1936-) who was the first to collect it, in December 1992. Gordon worked in the Department of Botany at the University of New England (UNE) from 1962 until his retirement in 1996. In the last decade of his service, he took particular interest in the NCW Beadle Herbarium and is credited with the successful securing of grant funding to begin databasing the collection."
