  • Etymology: "The specific epithet ‘gilesii’ was first proposed by Mr George Althofer (Althofer 1978 [i.e. G.W.Althofer Cradle of incense (1978)]) to acknowledge William (Bill) E. Giles who ‘experimented in growing Australian and exotic plants’ (Althofer 1978, p. 121). Giles discovered this new species in the 1940s (Althofer 1978), with the first known herbarium collection made by him on the 17th December 1950."
