Memo . from the CURATOR to Baron Ferd: von Mueller K.C.M.G., F.R.S. &c

Melbourne

6th Sept: 1892

Dear Baron Mueller,

I send by this post fruits, leaves & (in a tin) a few fresh flowers of a from the Newcastle district. I am trying to get better specimens.

I believe the to be new, for I cannot place it under any of the s in the Flora.

Bentham (1863-78), vol. 5.

You were good enough, some time ago, to say you would couple my name with yours in describing new species I may send you. I should like the new species (if you confirm my diagnosis), to be named after my assistant Mr R. T. Baker.

bakeriana was jointly authored by M and Maiden in B93.14.03.

I wish to write to you re Meston

See J. Maiden to M, 18 August 1892 (in this edition as 92-08-18a).

& other matters, but I have simply not had time. I am busy beyond measure, & now I am occupied in designing fittings for the new Museum.

Yours truly,

J. H. Maiden.
