Let me thank you, dear Dr Dyer, for sending the list of names, corresponding to Miss A Walkers last sending of fungs and drawings.

The list was sent on 25 September 1894: see annotations on M to W. Thiselton-Dyer, 22 June 1894 (in this edition as 94-06-22a).
As regards the Eucalyptus macro[car]pa it is rare and occurs only in the inland regions of West Australia. I will try to get the genuine seed fresh again. I collected it myself in 1877 and then sent it out. Am not at all surprised that wrong seeds were sent under that name, because it is impossible for me to examine and verify myself all Eucalyptus seeds from W.A. particularly, even if seedvessels leaves and flowers c[o]me with the seeds, and such is rarely the case.
With every good wish your
Ferd von Mueller
Thanks for seeds of
