17/3/82.

When writing to you yesterday,

No letter of M to W. Mitten of 16 March 1882 has been found, but see M to W. Mitten, 15 March 1882 (in this edition as 83-03-15a).

dear Mr Mitten, I forgot to ask, what of Lindberg is. Like he must have had it from me, but he never sent me a copy of the description, nor did he return a bid

bit?

for the Gov. Collection here, though he sent some prints on European Mosses by last mail. As there will be soon supplements to the Moss-list, I should like to add this Gigaspermum at its proper place.

No supplement was published to M’s list of mosses (B81.13.12, pp. 107-15), published as an addendum to Hampe (1881) in Fragmenta, vol 11.

Regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller.

You seem to have described it as a , according to Sauerbeck & Jaeger.
