Etymology

The generic name honours the remarkable amateur bryologist T.W.N. Beckett (1839–1906), who for many years lived at Ilam, Christchurch. Beckett collected N.Z. bryophytes mainly in Canterbury, Nelson, and the West Coast, corresponded and exchanged specimens with many of the leading bryologists of his day, and amassed a large herbarium and library, which are today an important part of the Allan Herbarium (CHR) at Lincoln.
