RECORDS OF AUSTRALIAN BOTANISTS. 125 
I can get but few particulars of this admirable collector, 
and therefore I shall publish now the little I know, with 
the view to elicit further information. I will, of course, 
include him in my list of Tasmanian botanists. Bentham 
(B.F1.) refers to his collections in New Hngland, N.S.W. 
He seems to have collected about Timbarra, Tenterfield 
district, and other parts of northern New Hngland. His 
specimens were carefully selected, numbered serially, and 
the information on his labels is concise and informative, 
and the handwriting that of an educated man. Most Of 
his specimens that I have seen are in the National 
Herbarium, Melbourne. Miquel quotes him. He is com- 
memorated in the following species :— 
Bursaria Stuartiana, Klatt. = Marianthus procumbens, Benth.; 
Diplopeltis Stuart, F.v.M.; Spyridium Stuartiu, Reiss. = S. 
coactifolium, Reissek, var. wntegrifolium, Acacia Stuartiana,
