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)
