The following species were named after him, and by looking up these species 
in the “Mora Australiensis ” and “ Eragmenta” we can obtain evidence as to his 
botanical journeys. I do not know where and when he was horn and died. 
Hibiscus Beckleri, F.v.M .= //. diver sifolius, Jacq. 
Nephelium Beckleri, Benih. 
Streptolhamnus Beckleri, F.v.M. 
Eurybia Beckleri, F.V.M . = Olearia cyclonic?folia, Benth. 
Ilelichrysum Becklerii, F.v.M. 
Ixora Becklerii, Benth. 
Myrtiis Becklerii, F.v.M. 
Ozothamnus Becklerii, F. v. M. = IIclickrysura Becklerii, F.v.M. 
Cleisostovia Beckleri, F.v.M. 
Dendrobium Beckleri, F.v.M.= 1 
Ficus Beckleri, Miq. = F. orbicularis, A. Cunn. 
Phyllardhus Beckleri, Muell. Arg.= ? 
Polypodium Beckleri, Hook .— Aspidium ramosum, Beauv. 
"Vernacular Names. — I know of none. I have suggested the provisional 
name “ The Hairy Dysoxylon.” as it is the only species of the genus known to me 
which is so markedly hairy, and with such prominent venation. 
Synonym. — D. Lessertianum, Benth. var. pnbescens, Benth. in B.E1., i, 382: 
“Young shoots, petioles, under-side of the leaflets, and inflorescence softly pubescent. 
Clarence River, Beckler” ( loc . cit.). Thus Bentham looked upon the tree as a 
pubescent form of our common Rosewood. 
Leaves. —Note their hairiness, which is a character. 
Flowers. — I shall be glad if correspondents will make observations in regard 
to the odour of flowers of various species of Dysoxylon. Different observers report 
differently in regard to the flowers of the same species, so that the evidence becomes 
quite conflicting. 
The following example is instructive. The flowers of Dysoxylon rufum (see 
Part XXIV), fruits also, smell sweet enough to begin w r ith, but while being pressed 
they evolve a disgusting odour, presumably owing to fermentation. On one occasion 
a correspondent sent me flowers of Dysoxylon rufum, carefully packed between 
sheets of cardboard. They came to hand on a Saturday afternoon, and it was not 
convenient for me to exargdne them just then. On my return home I found the 
household complaining of an offensive smell, whose origin they could not trace. 
After some consideration I traced the smell to the Dysoxylon flowers. I accordingly 
put them into the hall and thought no more about them. On the Sunday morning 
the stench was abominable; it filled the house, so to speak, and I had to take them 
out of the house altogether. Yet my correspondent had reported the flowers as 
“ sweet-scented,” and he is not alone in giving such a description. 
Fruits. —Unknown. 
Bark. —Unknown.
