  • Etymology: "The botanical name is derived from the Latin montanus (pertaining to mountains) and -cola (dweller or inhabitant). This name was chosen by the author of the species (Black [in Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia 61: 241-246] 1937) because the collections known to him at the time all came from rocky tablelands and mountain ranges (e.g. Jervois Range, Haast's Bluff, MacDonnell Ranges, tablelands between Sturts Creek and the Victoria River), and he therefore presumed that this was the preferred habitat of the species. However, as can be seen from the discussion above, the species is not exclusively found on rocky upland areas. Some confusion has existed over the application of the common name to this species and A. trachycarpa , probably because both species have Minni Ritchi bark and consequently, both had received the common name Curley-bark in some literature. We suggest retaining the name Curley-bark Wattle for A. monticola, and using the name Pilbara Minni Ritchi for A. trachycarpa."
