MS annotation: 'B. G. Melbourne) received 17/6/71'.
I am sad, dear Dr Hooker, to learn that our great friend Prof Miquel, has now also
left us. What an assiduous and ingenious man, full of friendliness and learning.

Miquel died on 23 January 1871.
Pray send the few fungi to Berkeley. They may still
come in time for his essay. I have to describe a second Australian Phallus of the
series of those with a reticulated expanding veil.

The only
Phallus
known to have been described by M,
P. vitellinus, was described in B70.12.03, p. 122. See M to J. Hooker, 16 June 1871 (in this edition as 70-06-16a).
I have just ordered from Dulau the continuation of your icones, which series I hope
will proceed quite as speedily as that of your father.

W. Hooker (1836-54). J. Hooker revived the title in 1867.
Pray let me know how you and Bentham are getting on with the "genera",
in order to enable me to judge, when my supplemental Monochlamydeae must be sent for
the Flora

The postscript Is written on a separate page and is associated with this letter because
of the sequence in which it is bound in the guardbook. This placement is consistent
with the publication of the notes on Hibbertia (see below).

APNI (accessed 24 December 2019) does not list a
Huttia
described by M. However, M placed
Huttia
as a section of
Hibbertia
in B71.07.01, p. 123, within which he described as new
Hibbertia goyderi, collected by Schultz (i.e. Frederick Schultze) from Port Darwin.
