1858 to 1862. — John McDouall Stuart, who was first 

 ■draughtsman to Capt. C. Sturt on his journey to the interior, in 

 all his expeditions collected specimens of plants which were 

 given to Baron Mueller for determination. The Hapmdaceous 

 shrub, iJijilopeltis Stiiartii, F.v.M., is named in honor of this 

 explorer. 



Pemberton Walcott and Maitland Brown collected the 

 herbarium specimens on F. T. Gregory's Expedition to the north- 

 west in 1861, and Baron Mueller determined and described them. 

 The plants which commemorate these two collectors are — Lachnos- 

 tacJii/s W'dkuttii, F.v.M. , and ( Tvinphrena Maitland i,F .v .M. ; Acacia 

 Grei/orii commemorates the leader of the Expedition. 



Lieut. Smith's Expedition to the estuary of the Burdekin, 

 of which Eugene Fitzalan was the botanic collector, added 

 greatly to our knowledge of the botany of the north-eastern 

 coast. The specimens were all placed in Baron Mueller's hands 

 for report, which was subsequently given in his essay on the 

 plants. It was in this essay that he published the description 

 of that beautiful tree, Kandia Fitzalani. Not only on this 

 expedition, but for many years afterwards, Mr. E. Fitzalan was 

 in the habit of collecting and forwarding specimens to Baron 

 Mueller. 



1861 — Wm. Landsborough's expedition from the Gulf of 

 Carpentaria in quest of Burke and Wills. Baron Mueller deter- 

 mined the specimens obtained by this expedition. An excellent 

 fodder grass, Anthistiria inemhranacea, Lindl., is known as the 

 Landsborough grass. Sicalnmna 7>?tr/.Ti, F.v.M.. and Eremophila 

 Willsi, F.v.M., are named after the unfortunate explorers. 



The plant specimens which were obtained by the Expeditions 

 undertaken by Ernest and Christopher Giles were also deter- 

 mined and published by Baron Mueller in his various works. 

 Plants named after these two explorers are — Ei-eniop/iila (TiJedi, 

 F.v.M., and PlioUdia Christophori, F.v.M. 



The plants also collected by the West Australian explorer, 

 the Hon. J. Forrest, were similarly determined by Baron Mueller, 

 and published in various papers supplied to societies. Adenanthos 

 Forrcstii, F.v.M., is named after this explorer.
