common name:
Atkins' Wattle
[n/a]
-
Etymology:
"This species is named for Ken Atkins who provided valuable field data and many specimens of Acacia from the Tom Price - Paraburdoo area in the 1980's. The application of the Kurrama name Pilarri to A. kempeana by Wangka Maya [in "Kurrama Wordlist and Sketch Grammar" p. 193] (2001) is probably a mistake resulting from a misidentification a plant of A. atkinsiana."
