  • Etymology: "this species honours my good friend and former colleague Elizabeth Anne Brown (15 November 1956 – 17 November 2013); we shared a house for a year, we inspired each other in our textile hobbies, we accompanied each other on field trips (including the memorable 1994 Bryophyte Workshop in Kuranda) and she was incredibly supportive and encouraging in my studies into the native legumes of Australia. She is permanently in my memories – mostly through her laugh."
