20 RECORDS OF TASMAMAN BOTANISTS. 



JEANNERETT, Dr. ( ). 



He is spoken of in 1849 ^^ '" ^^^e Superintendent of 

 the Aborigines " (see Blue-book, " Papers relative to 

 Crown Lands hi the Australian Colonies," Part ii., 

 185 1). 



Resided at one time at Port x^rthur. Harvey speaks 

 of having received from him a number of interesting 

 Algae and the genus Jeannarettia, Hook, fil., et Harv. 

 was dedicated to him. See Harvey's " Nereis Aus- 

 tralis." 



Harvey also speaks of him as '' an investigator of 

 the botany of Tasmania," and figures in his " Pliyco- 

 logia Australica," Jeannerebtia lobata, Hook, f., and 

 Harv. and Ptilota Teanerettii, Harv. 



LABILLARDIERE, JACQUES JULIEX HOUTEN 

 de (I755-IS34)- 



He was botanist to the expedition in search of La 

 Perouse in command of Captain d'Entrecasteaux, whose 

 ships were the " Recherche " and '" L'Esperance." He 

 was in Tasmania in 1792, and many Tasmanian plants 

 were figured in his " Novae Hollandise plantarum speci- 

 men " (Paris, 1804-06). 



It is my intention to publish a separate account of 

 the French botanists w*ho advanced Australian botany. 



LAWRENCE, ROBERT WILLL\M (1807-1833T. 



Died at Formosa, Tasmania, on i8tli October, 1833, 

 aged 26 years (the anniversary of his birth). 



" He led me (Gunn) to conmience the study of 

 botany." J. G. Robertson, who was manager of For- 

 mosa (see 8) was doubtless influenced in his botanical 

 studies by Lawrence. 



'■ In 1826 Mr. Robert William Lawrence, a settler in Tas- 

 mania, commenced exploring the northern parts of that island 

 and forming collections, which were communicated to Sir W. 

 Hooker up till 1832, when he died. Some of these plants were 

 published in the ' Companion to the Botanical Magazine,' 

 ' Journal of Botany.' ' Icones Plantarum.' and elsewhere." (2)
