Voigt and Monika Wells (eds), Correspondence of Ferdinand von Mueller, <https://vmcp.rbg.vic.gov.au/id//letters/1880-9/1886/86-11-00g-final.odt>, accessed June 10, 2026

Pencilled annotation: 'Specimens named'. Item is dated to November 1886 as the earliest likely date it could have been written, assuming it is Nordstedt's response to the specimens sent by M in early August 1886 (see M to O. Nordstedt, 5 August 1886) and allowing time for the package to reach Lund and for Nordstedt then to examine the specimens.

Von A Watts 1886.
