Distribution | Australia (C Queensland) Type locality: 118 km W Richmond, Qld. |
Reproduction | oviparous |
Types | Holotype: AMS (AM) R116984. A neotype designation of AMS R143896, 34.4km N Barkly Highway via Normanton rd, Qld, collected R. Sadlier & G. Shea, 6.iv.1994 by Witten (1994) is invalid, as the holotype has never been missing. |

Comment | Synonymy: Witten (1994) erroneously considered the holotype as lost and nominated as neotype a QM specimen of Pogona vitticeps, leading him to redescribe P. henrylawsoni as a new species, Pogona brevis, now a junior synonym of P. henrylawsoni. Not listed by BARTS & WILMS (1997). Amphibolurus rankini appears to be a name circulating among herpetoculturists before it was published anywhere; it was based on the intention of Richard Wells to be published eventually. However, the species was later described as P. henrylawsoni with “rankini” left as a nomen nudum although it is possible that pictures of this species have been published under that name before 1984 (R. Wellington, pers. comm., 28 Jan 2013). Hybridization: P. henrylawsoni and P. nullarbor hybridize (MÜLLER 2010). P. henrylawsoni als hybridizes with P. vitticeps (MÜLLER 2002).

Etymology | Named after Henry Lawson (17 June, 1867 to 2 September, 1922) Australian poet and philosopher. |
