• Type: "NEW SOUTH WALES.– Western Plains: Lake Cargelligo, Nov., 1915, J.W. Dwyer; "Lachlan River," 1879, Gerard Tucker (HOLOTYPE in MEL, CLASTOTYPE in NSW)"

• Etymology: "Adopting a manuscript epithet given in 1879 by F. Mueller, who was the first to recognize the specific distinctiveness of H. tuckeri, I have drawn freely from his detailed notes accompanying the type specimen in the Melbourne Herbarium. Apparently it had been Mueller ’s intention to publish this name, honouring the original collector, and his epithet is now perpetuated as a mark of respect."
