DESCRIPTION. 



CXLVI. E. Johnstoni u.sp. 



SYNONYM. 



K. Muelleri T. B. Moore, Proc. Roy. Soc. Tas., 1886, p. 207. (This work. Tart 

 XXVIII, p. 160.) 



/:. Muelleri is preoccupied by — 



1. E. Muelleri Miq., Ned. Kruidh Archief, iv, 130 (1856), which is a synonym of 



E. duvvosa A. Cunn., see Part IV, p. 100 of the present work, and also by 



2. E. Muelleri Naudin, which is probably a synonym of E. ovata Labill. 



( By the way, the name of Mueller is commemorated by E. Muelleriana Howitt. 

 See p. 219, Tart VIII, of the present work.) 



The name E. Muelleri must, therefore fall. I propose, therefore, for E. Muelleri 

 T. B. Moore, the name E. Johnstoni, in honour of Robert Mackenzie Johnston (18-15 to 

 1918), a competent botanist and palseo-botanist, who, particularly in the early part of 

 his career, did much to popularise the study of Tasmanian plants. A few notes on 

 this excellent man will be found in my " Records of Australian Botanists :: (2nd Supple- 

 ment), Journ, Roy. Soc. N.S.W., lv, 103 (1921). 



Illustrations. This species (as E. Muelleri) is adequately illustrated at Plate 116 

 of Part XXY1II of the present work.
