You were so kind, honored friend, to send me once a fragment of , on which I gave an opinion in the 61. fasc. of my fragmenta,

B73.06.03, p. 46.

forwarded by this mail. I have now to ask a similar favor. I am anxious to obtain a small piece or specimen of D.C., to compare it with . In the second volume of Bentham's and Hooker's genera plantarum the two genera are placed near to each other,

Bentham & Hooker (1862-83), vol. 2, part 1, p. 300, where is noted as not having been seen by the authors.

and this makes me anxious to investigate closely the Madagascar plant, with which your illustrious parent was hitherto alone acquainted, and which likely occurs in your Herbarium. is not among the numerous plant from Madagascar, which I have from the late Dr Meller.
