After Allan Cunningham, a British botanist who collected extensively in Australia and who sent some of the earliest specimens to The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The leaf bases were used as water carriers by Aboriginal people and the names Piccabeen and Bangalow supposedly come from Aboriginal words for water carrier. The cabbage (the shoot and surrounding young leaves and tissue) is edible and was widely collected by Aboriginal people and early settlers.
