On a new centrolepideae
journal contribution
posted on 2023-11-22, 10:45 authored by Leonard RodwayThe small order Centrolepideae, an offshoot of Restiaceae, has its distribution mostly Australian. Tasmania is particularly fortunate in species numbering 12 out of a total of about 24 that have been described.
The order includes, according to the usually accepted classification, four genera: Aphelia, Centrolepis (including Alepyrum), Trithuria, and Gaimardia. Tasmania has long had recorded good specimens of the first three genera, and I have now the good fortune of adding a member of the fourth, Gaimardia, which has hitherto been found only in New Zealand and the South Seas to S. America. I describe the plant in conjunction with our truly respected Fellow, Baron von Mueller, and we name it after its first discoverer, W. Fitzgerald, F.B.H.S. Gaimardia fitzgeraldi, n. sp.
