Acacia armitii F.Muell. ex Maiden, legitimate, scientific tax. nov. apni
Maiden, J.H. (1917), Notes on Acacia, No. II. — tropical Western Australia (including descriptions of new species). Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales 51: 84-87 [tax. nov.] BHL
  • Type: "Near the Ennasleigh River. W. Armit."
misapplication: Acacia delibrata A.Cunn. ex Benth. legitimate by Mueller, F.J.H. von (1888), Iconography of Australian Species of Acacia and Cognate Genera Decas. 11: pl. 1
  • Etymology: "Named in honour of W. E. Armit. Biographical notes on Mr. Armit will be found in Proc. Aust. Assoc. Adv. Science, xii, 374, (1909). Mr. Banfield of Dunk Island, North Queensland, kindly tells me that his name was William Edington Armit. He died in Papua. His son, Mr. L. P. B. Armit is an official of that dependency."
  • Text: "After writing the description, Mueller refused to publish it, marking it 'A. delibrata aff.' A sight of the type shows that A. delibrata is a very different plant, and I take the responsibility of reversing Mueller’s decision, and publishing his description."
