My dear Professor

I enclose the only flowering specimen I have of Trichosanthes subvelutina I have forwarded a few other Cucurbitaceae to you by the last mail.1 As I shall make up some collections of dried plants from tropical Australia for Professor Brogniart,2 I will avail myself of the opportunity & send you a general collection of our duplicates for the Paris Museum.

With sentiments of the highest regard

dear Sir,

your

Ferd Mueller.
