7/11/94

Besten Dank, lieber Herr Tepper, für die Bemühung wegen der Auskunft, welche man in Canada über unsere artesische Brunnen wünscht. Ich habe nun direct an Mr Jones geschrieben. Hiermit einige Sämereien, welche Ihren Sohn in WA willkommen sein sollten.

Immer Ihr

Ferd. von Mueller.

Ich bezweifle, dass der Pilz den Sie u Mr M'Alpine als ein neues genus beschrieben haben, von verschieden ist. Jetzt hat Saccardo Diagnose von 40000 Pilze gegeben u ist gewagt etwas Mycologisches ohne Confirmation eines europäische Specialisten zu veröffentlichen. So ist es mit Algen, Moosen u Flechten auch. Wir haben weder zulänglich Bibliotheken noch genügenden Vergleichungs Material für in Australien.

7/11/94

Best thanks, dear Mr Tepper, for the efforts regarding the information that was desired in Canada about our artesian wells. I have now written directly to Mr Jones.

W. J. Jones, SA's Conservator of Water. Letter not found. See G. Dawson to M, 31 December 1894 (in this edition as 94-12-31a).

Herewith some seeds that should be welcome to your son in Western Australia.

Always your

Ferd. von Mueller.

I doubt that the fungus that you and Mr McAlpine have described as a new genus

Laccocephalum was erected as a genus by McAlpine, and the species L. basilapiloides is described under joint authorship in McAlpine & Tepper (1895), a paper read to the Royal Society of Victoria on 12 July 1894.

is different from . Now Saccardo has given diagnoses of 40000 fungi

Saccardo (1882-1931), of which the first 10 vols were in print at this date.

and it is risky to publish something mycological without confirmation by a European specialist. So it is with algae, mosses and lichens as well. We have neither adequate libraries nor sufficient comparative material for in Australia.
