Pterostylis hamiltonii Nicholls , legitimate, scientific
Nicholls, W.H. (1933), A new species of the genus Pterostylis R.Br. The Victorian Naturalist 50: 89-91 BHL [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "Western Australia: Boyup Brook, 1927–30 (Miss E. Corker). Flowering June–July ... The type material is in the author's herbarium, in addition to a co-type specimen in the National Herbarium, Melbourne."
  • Etymology: "I have named this attractive Shell-orchid (or Greenhood) after Mr. Alex. G. Hamilton, of Chatswood, New South Wales, as a mark of appreciation for his generous help to others at all times. Mr. Hamilton is a veteran in the field of botanical research, and is particularly interested in the genus Pterostylis, which he admires more than any other terrestrial. Mr. Hamilton visited Western Australia during 1904, and again in 1926; his stays were of long duration, and extensive collections of plants resulted, the majority of which are now in the National Herbarium, Sydney."
