Melbourne, 70. Collin Street East,

21. April 1855

My dear Sir

I hope you will with your usual desire to promote scientific research excuse me for intruding on you, asking to favor me with a copy of the diagnosis of which plant I think is figured and described in Hookers icones.

W. Hooker (1836-54), vol. 9, plate 859.

I should also feel greatly obliged for any information on Oreomyrrh.

Oreomyrrhis.

sessiliflora, , &

to which Science is indebted by your discoveries.

I believe to have found these plants also here in my last expedition, but the books, which contain their descriptions have not yet arrived

I remain, my dear Sir,

your most devoted Serv.

Ferd. Mueller.

R. Gunn Esq. F.R.S.
