Stephen, the acacia is named after John Pickard, who discovered it, he is a good friend of ours and as you can imagine is very knowledgeable on the outback regions.

Hi Peter
John would be a very valuable asset to have on any outback trip. It has been very hard to get the information that I was able to get, there is such a lots to learn about this very special plant.
The strange thing about this plants was that it had been seen by many people over the years, but took John to identify this as another new unrecorded species.
It would be great to have a chat with him.
Cheers
Stephen
