Taxonomy
The earliest record in an Australian herbarium is MEL 22373491,[4] which was collected in 1860 by Hermann Beckler on the Scropes Range (about 57 km north of Menindee) during the Victorian Exploring expedition.[6] It was first described by Blakely in 1922 as Loranthus maidenii,[1][7] but in 1962 was placed in the genus Amyema by Barlow.[2]
