17/11/87

Es freuet mich, lieber Herr Tepper, dass Sie mir die Gelegenheit geben wollen, die abzubilden.

Das jüngst gesandte Pflänzchen ist ein Helipterum nahe mit H. pygmaeum verwandt. Die Exemplare sind noch zu jung, um etwas Ordentliches damit zu machen.

Die Benennung der W.A. Pflanzen soll geschehen, wenn der Key fertig ist

Bestens grüssen

Ferd. von Mueller.

17/11/87

I am pleased, dear Mr Tepper, that you intend to give me the opportunity to figure .

See M to O. Tepper, 7 November 1887 (in this edition as 87-11-07a), and M to O. Tepper, 26 November 1887 (in this edition as 87-11-26b).

The little plant sent recently is a Helipterum closely related to H. pygmaeum. The specimens are still too young to make anything substantial of it.

The naming of the Western Australian plants will happen when the Key

B88.11.02.

is finished.

Best greetings

Ferd. von Mueller.
