To Julian Tenison Woods   30 December 1857

Melbourne bot Garden

30. Dec 1857

My dear Mr Woods

This morning, having just returned from Cape Otway, I received the specimens, which you kindfully forwarded to me, and for which I tender many thanks.

N. 1 is Hibiscus notabilis,1 which I found on Spencers Gulf in 1851.

N. 2 is as you rightly supposed the Corethrostylis Schulzenii which Mr Schulzen discovered at Mount Benson, and of which a good supply of seeds and specimens would be so very acceptable

N. 3 is Goodia lotifolia Salisbury.

N. 4. is Gompholobium uncinatum All. Cunningh (a sheep-poison.)

N. 5 Pleurandra riparia R Br. var pubescens

N. 6. Isopogon Ceratophyllus R. Br.

I should be glad to see a fragment of the Loranthus, which adheres to Banksia. There is now a recess for 3 months of the philosoph. Institute, which will give you more time to finish the paper, you will again favour us with. I shall see you duely enrolled a corresponding member.

Receive, dear and reverend Sir, the best wishes for your welfare from your obedient

Ferd. Mueller.
