From Ferdinand von Mueller to George Bentham   25 Jan 1862

25/1/62

Dear Mr Bentham

In writing to you yesterday1 I forgot to direct your attention to the curious form of the anthers of Hibbertia stellaris, Endl. Perhaps you may have overlooked it. To me it seems important, since you attach generic value to Adrastaea2

I speak from memory, since the Dilleniaceae are on the way to you.
