Shillinglaw was writing a biography of Matthew Flinders, with whom Robert Brown (1773-1858) had circumnavigated Australia in 1801-3. The work was never published. M had already
told Shillinglaw about the added species; see M to J. Shillinglaw, 20 May 1880. Species described by M are listed in Muir (1979);
was erected in R. Brown (1814), p. 595.
