Gastrolobium rigidum (common name rigid-leaf poison) [4] is a small bushy shrub in the pea family ( Fabaceae), native to Western Australia. [5]
It was first described as Oxylobium rigidum by Charles Gardner in 1964. [1] [6] It was transferred to the genus, Gastrolobium in 1987 by Michael Crisp and Peter Weston. [2]
The specific epithet, rigidum, is a Latin adjective derived from the verb, rigidere ("to be stiff") and describes the plant as being "stiff", or "inflexible". [7]
