25/5/65

Dear Mr Bentham.

Your letter of the 26/3 has arrived. Probably by the Sussex, to sail in about 2 weeks, I shall send you a box with specimens supplementing the material for vol. 3.

Bentham (1863-78), vol. 3.

It will contain a good many , the new ones of which I have mostly described, also 2 or 3 &c not before in my collection. The £100 for the 3. vol. are granted on my application, but the remittance can only be effected by the June mail.

I have formed of a genus ( ) The fruit is not winged & the albumen deeply 6-cleft.

Contrast with M to G. Bentham, 21 April 1865, where the albumen is described as 8-furrowed.

I have to furnish you with notes on the geographic distribution of the & spec. of other orders to be drawn into the 3. volume; but can do this only by next mail, as the arrangements for Leichhardts search prevent me getting leisure looking over the notes at this moment

Yours regardfully

Ferd. Mueller
