21/3/64.

Dear Mr Bentham

As I had no letter from you by last mail I need not write to you but on a few trifling subjects. From the enclosed note you will perceive, that the money for vol II is sent already by last mail.

MS is marked with a marginal cross against this line , and a cross at the top left of the sheet.

I have just passed the first portion of fragm. XXVII through the press & introduced into it as , to which genus in reality all Echinocarpi belong.

B64.05.01, p. 91.

I herewith send you a flowering specimen.

Will you bear in mind that Prof Lange has published in the last seed Catalogue of Copenhagen a Sutherlandia foliolata.

‘from seed obtained from the Melbourne Garden ('Semina ex horto Melbournensi aceepimus'); see APNI.

I have no doubt it is a . I have been engaged in placing the plants of various families into something like order. Amongst I have several new species & a remarkable new genus with connate anthers, to which I have given in the current number of the fragmenta the name .

B64.05.01, p. 95.

With kindest regards

yours

Ferd. Mueller.
