Pembertonia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae.[1] It only contains one known species, Pembertonia latisquamea (F.Muell.) P.S.Short
Its native range is Northwestern Australia.[1]
The genus name of Pembertonia is in honour of Pemberton Walcott (1834–1883), an English plant collector who settled in Western Australia and was the namesake of the city Pemberton.[2] The Latin specific epithet of latisquamea is a portmanteau word, 'latis-' is derived from latus meaning broad and '-squamea' is derived from squama meaning scale.[3] Both the genus and species were first described and published in Muelleria Vol.20 on page 62 in 2004.[1]
