MTJIKIAKTHA C, A. Gardn. nom. noA^ 
Mueller, in 1887, described under the name Chorilaena HasselUi, a plant 
collected by A. Y. Hassell from the west end of the Stirling Range. This 
was raised by me to generic rank in this journal xix., 83 (1933), und(‘r the 
name of Muiria HasselUi (F. Muell.) C. A. Gardn. A shoiT time before this, 
however, N. E, Brown bestowed the name Muiria on an Aizoaceous plant, 
so that a new name has to be found for the local genus, and the name 
Muiriantha is here projmsed. The description will be found under the 
reference quoted above.
