From Ferdinand von Mueller to William Woolls   [Oct 1857]

[As I felt some doubt as to this species,1 I forwarded a specimen to Dr. F. Mueller, who not only afforded me the required information, but led me to expect that I should find some more species here. Since the receipt of that communication, I have found another Calotis, of a brownish yellow colour, with linear pinnatifid leaves growing from the root.]
