Dear Sir.
I have to crave your pardon for having not before this acknowledged your kind donation
of dried plants, which were most welcome & have been inserted in the fascicles of
our Museum.
Allow me to mention, that it is important (in order to avoid mistakes as to the adscription
of localities) that specimens for the herbarium should in all instances be labelled
by the collector himself, whose handwriting is the best guarantee for the correctness
of the assignation.
If I can be of any use to you, command unhesitatingly my services.
Regardfully
yours
Ferd Mueller
Eucalypti in
flowers & fruit
with notes on bark, wood &c most welcome!
Can you suggest any means, not over expensive, to have of the forest trees of the
Clarence Hastings Richmond & M'Lay
specimens
in flower & fruit
gathered?

i.e. Macleay River, NSW.
The Gymnogramme was by you correctly named G. rutaefolia. It is not very rare.
