"Western Australia. Coomallo telephone exchange, Marchagee Track, 27 September 2000, Allen Lowrie 2478 (holo: PERTH; Syntype: "In distr. Irwin pr. Arrowsmith River (F.V.MULLER)." (syn: B ??, MEL).")"

Etymology

"The epithet, <i>coomallo</i>, appears to be derived from a Noongar Aboriginal word. Its meaning is unknown. Since colonisation, Coomallo has been the name given to Coomallo Creek, named by a surveyor in 1880. Hence, Coomallo Pool, Coomallo phone exchange, and Coomallo Nature Reserve, on the edge of which this species was rediscovered."

Comment

Lowrie and Conran's citation of a "syntype" is here treated as a correctable error for "paratype" under ICN Art. 9.9 (Melbourne Code, 2012). The Mueller specimen cited thus has no type status.
