Gastrolobium nervosum is a small shrub in the pea family ( Fabaceae), native to Western Australia. [4]
It was first described as Oxylobium nervosum by Carl Meissner in 1855. [1] [5] It was transferred to the genus, Gastrolobium in 2002 by Chandler, Michael Crisp, Lindy Cayzer, and Bayer. [2]
It is found from Kalbarri to Zuytdorp Nature Reserve, [6] growing on sand, clay, gravel and limestone on coastal plains and sandplains. [4]
The specific epithet, nervosum, is a Latin adjective derived from the noun, nervus ("nerve") and describes the plant as having "prominent nerves", or being "strongly nerved". [7]
