Tisdall, Henry Thomas Normanton (1836? - 1905)

Henry Tisdall (1836?- 1905) lived in Walhalla, Victoria, for eighteen years from 1868, where he devoted his energies to a detailed study of the flora in northern Gippsland and the Baw Baw plateau. With Mueller's encouragement he turned his attention to the largely neglected fungi, an interest reflected in a number of his papers (Tisdall 1885, 1896). Tisdall's transfer to Melbourne in 1886 saw him spread his botanical interests wider to include algae, while he continued to share his knowledge with other naturalists.
