RBG Kew, Archives. Letters to John Lindley, vol. 2 (L-Z) ff. 659-660."Folios" 659 and 660 are in fact a single folded sheet. The text of the letter begins on the front of f. 660, with postscripts continued on the back of f. 659. The front of f. 659 is occupied by the illustration shown below engraved by Frederick Grosse and signed by him ‘F. Grosse [l/c]’, which here has been reduced in size (see 59-02-05a_image01.jpg). The 'Gouty-stem tree' depicted is Adansonia gregorii, formally described by M (B57.01.01, p. 14) from specimens collected near the Victoria River during the North Australian Exploring Expedition.  The illustration is annotated (by J. Lindley?), 'see also Mitchells volumes'. Lindley named another Australian 'bottle tree', Delabchea rupestris, in Mitchell (1848), p. 154-5; it is illustrated on p.154
