28/11/76.

I herewith send you, dear Dr Hooker, a few freshly ripened grains of , which might easily be raised like L. aquatica. Doubtless it could be naturalized in England; but the living plant at Kew would be interesting for comparisons.

I see, that you adopted the very fair plan, to count the specimens contributed in the course of the year to the Kew collections of dried plants.

J. Hooker (1876), in the section on the 'Herbarium', pp. 14-17.

I like of course to make as good a show as I can with my yet oppressed Department; so I should wish much, that I get credit also for what is kept by Mr Bentham for Kew from my collections, sent for his use for vol. VII of the flora.

Bentham (1863-78), vol. 7.

This must be considerable also as regards , & Ferns.

Regardfully always your

Ferd. von Mueller.
