Etymology
Named in honour of Prof. T. Carrick Chambers, who at The University of Melbourne became, at the age of 37, one of the youngest-ever professorial departmental heads. Prof. Chambers was responsible for the first author’s appointment to the Botany School in 1974, and his leadership and support were greatly admired and deeply appreciated by those who served with or under him. Prof. Chambers left The University of Melbourne in 1986 to become the director of the Royal Botanic Garden of Sydney, continuing his productive administrative and research activities both there and after his retirement. In 1996, he was honoured as a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his excellence as a ‘teacher and researcher on conservation issues and botanical concepts’ (see https:// www.anbg.gov.au/biography/chambers-thomas-carrick.html).
