Taxonomy
The species was first formally described by botanist Robert Brown in 1830,[1] based on material collected by Charles Fraser along the Swan River.[3] In 1891, German botanist Otto Kuntze published Revisio generum plantarum, his response to what he perceived as a lack of method in existing nomenclatural practice.[4] Because Isopogon was based on Isopogon anemonifolius,[5] and that species had already been placed by Richard Salisbury in the segregate genus Atylus in 1807,[6] Kuntze revived the latter genus on the grounds of priority, and made the new combination Atylus asper for this species.[7] However, Kuntze's revisionary program was not accepted by the majority of botanists.[4] Ultimately, the genus Isopogon was nomenclaturally conserved over Atylus by the International Botanical Congress of 1905.[8]
