Acacia adjutrices Maslin, legitimate, scientific nom. et stat. nov. apni
Maslin, B.R. (3 July 2014), Miscellaneous new species of Acacia (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) from south-west Western Australia. Nuytsia 24: 139-142, Fig. 1 [nom. et stat. nov.]
basionym: Acacia insolita subsp. efoliolata Maslin legitimate common name: Convivial Wattle [n/a]
  • Etymology: "The species epithet is derived from the Latin adjutrix (a female helper), and is applied here as a plural noun in apposition. It is with great pleasure that I name this species for Susan (Sue) Carroll, Meriel Falconer, Evelyn McGough and Kaye Veryard, past and present members of the Western Australian Herbarium 'database team'. Their excellent work, so willingly and graciously undertaken, in maintaining accurate content for the two Herbarium databases, WAHERB and WACENSUS, has greatly facilitated my work on Acacia for the past two to three decades. Parenthetically it is noted that the word adjutrix was used by Lewis and Short (1879: 38) [i.e.A Latin Dictionary founded on Andrew's edition of Freund's Latin dictionary] in an example from the Histories of Tacitus, legiones adjutrices for 'legions raised by the proconsul in the provinces for the purpose of strengthening the veteran army', could be loosely adapted here for staff appointed by a Curator in a State for supporting an aged botanist such as myself."
