Note for later
[edit]The type specimen is given as "Ad flumen Blackwood-River; J. Forrest." I assumed "J. Forrest" was John Forrest, who is known to have collected for Mueller during his explorations. I went a-looking to see if there might be an interesting backstory there, and found this in Bolton's Alexander Forrest: "The second brother, James, who founded a patriarchal establishment at Ludlow, twenty miles south of Bunbury, had achieved some repute by making botanical collections of the flora of the Blackwood district for Baron von Mueller...." This is cited to Smith, G. G. (1953), "Pioneer botanists of Western Australia", Early Days 4(5): 59–73, which I don't have easy access to right now. Hesperian 11:47, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Rather annoyingly, George (1984) says "The first specimens were collected by John Forrest about 1870". I'm convinced this is George's error: he read "J. Forrest" in Nelson (1978) and assumed it meant John just like I did. I'm going to have to skirt OR here.... Hesperian 00:25, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- FWIW, here's an example of a collection by James Forrest for Mueller in that area [1] Melburnian (talk) 07:36, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- This Berlin herbarium specimen is annotated with "Blackwood River leg. Jas. Forrest" . --Melburnian (talk) 03:56, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
- Wow, awesome find! Smith (1953) says very little, unfortunately. Is it worth ending that paragraph '... an an isotype lodged at the Botanical Garden in Berlin has been labelled by Ludwig Diels "Blackwood River by Jas. Forrest".'? Hesperian 04:21, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
- I think so for now, though I think we should aim to find something more solid for this paragraph down the track . Melburnian (talk) 04:47, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
