Etymology:
"Named after its first collector, Phillip J. Spencer (1964–), who was a technical officer at the Western Australian Herbarium for many years and is now a volunteer at the herbarium. The new species was amongst 40 specimens that he collected from the central wheatbelt in March and June 1995, at a time of year when relatively few species would have been in flower."
