Abstract

In his great work, " Flora Tasmaniae," Hooker describes
and figures Pilitis milligani. Unfortunately, his specimens
were devoid of corolla, except the persistent bases,
and in order to make the plate complete, corollas were
provided from imagination. Unfortunately, imagination
was in error, for, unlike its immediate relatives, Pilitis
milligani has a fairly persistent corolla with conspicuous
lobes.
