Es ist sehr freundlich, dass Sie mir die Pflanzen von Mr Arthur Bennett senden wollen; durch Tate's oder M'Culloch's Agency dort würde ich solche erhalten, ohne dass Ihnen Kosten erwachsen.

Ihre Abhandlung über die Orchideen ist geistreich u belehrend geschrieben. Sepale nehme ich nicht bei Orchideen mehr an sondern nun Kelchlappen, da eine Kelchröhr das Ovarium umschliesst.

It is very kind that you will send me the plants of Mr Arthur Bennett; I would receive them by Tate's, or McCulloch's agency there,

Frederick Tate was a customs agent who also ran 'Tate's Parcel Post Service' from his base in Market Street, Melbourne; Wm McCulloch & Co., Currie Street, Adelaide, offered similar services.

without your accruing expenses.

Your paper on the orchids is cleverly and instructively written.

Tepper (1885b)?

I no longer accept sepals in the case of orchids but now calyx lobes, because a calyx tube surrounds the ovary.
