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]


Etymology

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]
