Hakea brooksiana F.Muell. , legitimate, scientific

  • Type: "At or towards Mount Ragged; Miss S. Brooke."
  • Etymology: (not specified.)
  • Comment: Although Mueller spelled the species epithet as "brookeana" and cited original material as having been collected by "Miss S. Brooke", the collector was Sarah T. Brooks (1850–1928). Mueller presumably intended to honour the collector in naming the species and and later used the spelling brooksiana in Sec. Syst. Census Austral. Pl. 120 (1889). The epithet is thus corrected here following ICN Art. 60.1 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).

  • Etymology: "The Mueller epithet was chosen to commemorate a person called Brooks. The correct spelling of this epithet is thus brooksiana."
