Etymology

Lambertia names a small group of Australian shrubs and comes from the last name Lambert, after the English botanist Aylmer Bourke Lambert who studied plants. The ending -ia, like in Gardenia, is often used when a plant is 'named for' a person, so that helps explain why Lambertia is the name for this shrub group.
