To William Hooker   28 October 1853

bot . Gardens 28 [Oct] 53.

Sir William

Just before leaving Melbourne for my new journey, I observed that our solitary specimen of Cryptostemon ericaeus bears flowers again and I beg therefore to enclose a fragment as a confirmation to my description.1

I have the honor to subscribe myself,

Sir William, your most

obedient and devoted servant

Ferd Mueller.

 

Sir W J. Hooker, K. H.
