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.
P. henrylawsoni is also commonly called Lawson's dragon, dumpy dragon, pygmy dragon, dwarf bearded dragon, or black soil bearded dragon.
