25/3/82

Unter einigen Pflanzen, lieber Herr Tepper, welche ich eben von Herrn Pastor Kempe vom Finke Flusse erhalte, befindet sich selbst als Gattung neu für S.A. , Rbr. Vielleicht ist es noch nicht zu spät diese Pfl. in die Liste des Neuen für die dortige R.S. aufzunehmen.

Bestens grüssend

Ferd. von Mueller.

Auch noch finde ich unter Pastor Kempe’s Pflanzen, das Gras ist neu für S.A.

25/3/82

Among some plants, dear Mr Tepper, that I just received from Pastor Kempe from the Finke River,

Hermannsburg Mission, NT.

there is RBr, a genus new for South Australia. Perhaps it is still not too late to include this plant in the list of new ones for the Royal Society there.

Tate (1882), pp. 89, 91.

Best greetings

Ferd. von Mueller

Added to this I find among Pastor Kempe's plants, the grass is new for South Australia.
