Eriopus brownii Dixon
species
Eriopus brownii
The epithet commemorates Robert Brown (1820–1906), a remarkable and eccentric shoemaker of Christchurch, who was an avid collector and enthusiastic describer of N.Z. mosses. Dixon (1913–1929) removed an impediment to the progress of N.Z. bryology by studying and often synonymising many of Brown’s alleged species.
