MEMO. from the CURATOR to
26th April 1894
Dear Baron von Mueller,
I send you a
Myrtus
(in fruit only) which I doubtfully refer to
M. Hillii
. In one fruit I counted as many as 50 seeds. If convenient to you will you kindly
return me the specimen? You have a number of my specimens of
Myrtus
already. I find great difficulty in determining some species, and I only wish you
had time to write a brief monograph of the genus (as regards the Australian forms)
for the Linnean Society of N.S.W.
Yours truly,
J. H. Maiden.
