DESCRIPTION. 



CXLVI. E. Johnstoni li.sp. 



SYNONYM. 



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

 XXVIII, p. 160.) 



E. Muelleri is preoccupied by — 



1. E. Muelleri Miq., Ned. Kruiclk. Archie/, iv, 130 (1856), which is a synonym of 



E. dumosa 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, Part 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 (1845 to 

 1918), a competent botanist and paleeo-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, 163 (1921). 



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

 of Part XXVIII of the present work.
