- Nomenclatural Comment
- The epithet derives from the Greek and means eight-haired, a reference to the peristome. The epithet is a noun in apposition rather than an adjective and hence the often-used form "octoblepharis" is not correct., Holotype: Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land): trunks of fallen trees, base of Table Mountain, Mr. [R.] Brown, ("H. 3007"), BM-K! Isotype: BM-Wilson! Rod Seppelt & Lyn Cave (pers. comm., 16 Mar. 2015) have suggested that the “Table Mountain” of the protologue probably refers to Mt. Wellington. Although there is an extant Table Mountain in the midlands of Tasmania, there is no evidence that Robert Brown visited there.
