It is sometimes referred to as the dry and arid inland[1] or interior region of Western Australia[2][3] It is one of John Stanley Beard's phytogeographic regions of WA, based on climate and types of vegetation who, in "Plant Life of Western Australia" (p. 29-37) gives a short history of the various mappings.[4]
