12/4/80.

Das Bruchstück Ihrer Pflanze N. 293, lieber Herr Tepper, hatte mich ganz missleitet, da ich es freilich nicht analysirte, und die Blumen ihre Farbe verloren hatten; ich sehe nun, dass es bloss ist. Die schliessen auch ausnahmsweise gamopetalen Formen ein, u dies Pittosporum, alle -Arten usw sind Beispiele.

Stets der Ihre

12/4/80

Always your

Ferd. von Mueller.
