22/1/78.

Be so kind to tell me, dear Mr Ramsay, from whence the plant came, of which you sent a fragment.

See postscript to E. Ramsay to M, 15 January 1878.

I am delighted at the prospects of getting more palms from the north, — let the flowers & fruits in each instance be carefully packed together with the leaves.

Regardfully your

Ferd von Mueller
