common name: Scented Wax Wattle [n/a]

• Etymology: "The botanical name is derived from the Latin mellitus (sweet, pertaining to honey) and the Greek odor (smell, scent) in allusion to the sweet-smell emitted by this resinous species, even when dry according to the species author (Pedley [in Austrobaileya 1(2): 75-234] 1978). However, the Pilbara plants of this species have no, or very little, resin odour."
