Crisp, M.D., Cayzer, L., Chandler, G.R. & Cook, L.G. (2017), A monograph of Daviesia (Mirbelieae, Faboideae, Fabaceae). Phytotaxa 300(1): 182-183, Fig. 74C-J [nom. et stat. nov.]
replaced synonym: Daviesia benthamii subsp. humilis Crisp legitimate
  • Etymology: "The name refers to the actor playing the diminutive twin in the Universal Studios film ‘Twins’ (1988). Daviesia devito is the less vigorous of two cryptic species into which we here divide D. benthamii subsp. humilis, in contrast to the much more robust D. schwarzenegger... The epithet has been changed, rather than simply making a new combination for the subspecies name (on whose type D. devito is based), to avoid confusion caused by splitting the subspecies into two species."
