Etymology

Named in honour of Jacques Julien Houttou de Labillardière (1775–1834), French botanist on D’Entrecasteaux’s voyage (1791–1795) to find La Pérouse’s ill-fated expedition. He made extensive collections of Australian plants from south-west Australia and Tasmania which formed the basis of his Novae Hollandiae plantarum specimen published 1804–1807.
