Letter not found. The text given here is from a report of the meeting of the scientific committee of the Royal Horticultural Society held on 10 November1891, Gardener's chronicle , 21 November 1891, p. 621. It is not certain whether the letter was addressed to Masters personally, or to the Gardeners' chronicle , of which he was editor. The text makes it less likely that it was addressed to the Royal Horticultural Society.

[ . — A spray was received by Dr. Masters from Baron von Mueller, bearing both male and female flowers on the same shoot; the female flowers being in clusters instead of in pairs and arranged in the same series as the male catkins.]
