May 1 /82.

Dear Baron

At your suggestion

See W. Pfeffer to M, 26 October 1881, and M to J. Hooker, 12 December 1881.

I wrote to Profr. Pfeffer for Gartners alias Athecia , it is with the fruit turned upside down. Curiously enough Forsters original ticket with Royena ? glabra is with the specimen. This was stuck inside the lid of the little box & unobserved till after we named the plant I have returned it to Mr Pfeffer.

Ever yr
