Hooker, J.D. in Hooker, W.J. (1844), Note on the Cider Tree. London Journal of Botany 3: 499 BHL [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "HAB. On the elevated tablelands of the interior of Tasmania, especially in the neighbourhood of the lakes (Gunn. n. 1084, 1080, 1082)."
  • Etymology: "In describing this species, perhaps the most interesting of an immense genus, which forms four-fifths of the forests of Terra Australis, I am anxious that it should bear the name of R. C. Gunn, Esq., a gentleman whose name will ever be known as the great promoter of all branches of natural science in Tasmania, and to whose kind aid and experience I am indebted for much that I know of the Botany of that colony."
