Pogona henrylawsoni |
Rankin's dragon (Pogona henrylawsoni) is a species of Australian agamid lizard. It may also be called the pygmy bearded dragon (though the name is shared with other small Pogona species) and the black-soiled bearded dragon.
The specific epithet, henrylawsoni, is in honor of the Australian author, poet, and philosopher Henry Lawson.[2]
