The Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) is a tool for the botanical community that deals with plant names and their usage in the scientific literature, whether as a current name or synonym. APNI does not recommend any particular taxonomy or nomenclature.

Etymology: "The specific epithet honours the Western Australian botanist Robert W. Davis (1959–), who has made the majority of known collections of the species and was the first to recognise it as potentially being a new taxon (R. Davis, pers. comm.). Davis has made substantial contributions to the taxonomy of many Western Australian plant groups during his long career at the Western Australian Herbarium, including authoring 16 Ptilotus taxa and publishing several important taxonomic revisions in the genus." -
