Die Hypoxis, welche Sie eben senden, lieber Herr Tepper, ist die erste Frühlingsform
von H. glabella.
Das Prasophyllum ist P. despectans, J. Hooker, welches bisher noch nicht von ausserhalb
Tasmanien bekannt war!
Besten Dank für die entomologische Abhandlung.
Mit Gruss Ihr
Ferd. von Mueller.

The Hypoxis that you have just sent, dear Mr Tepper, is the first spring form of H. glabella.
The Prasophyllum is P. despectans J. Hooker that previously was not yet known outside Tasmania!
Best thanks for the entomological paper.
