Melbourne bot. Garden

20/12/72

The water plant sent by you, dear Mr Ramsay, is Vahl. The fungus mentioned by you is a of the section with netted veil. I have the species from the Richmond River and intend to say something about it in the next number of the fragmenta.

M did not mention the in B73.03.02 or B73.04.02, the next parts of the Fragmenta issued after the date of this letter. No mention of in any later part of the Fragmenta is known.

I am glad you will send the plants to California. I will render payment when the shipment is to be made.

With best regards

Ferd. von Mueller.

Any fungi will be welcome for my collection. They are less studied than any other series of Australian plants
