You will be glad to hear that Mr Wilkinson,1 of the Geological Survey, has recently found, at Cape Otway,2 Cyathea medullaris and Aspidium hispidum. The latter Fern had previously not been met with out of New Zealand, and Cyathea is a genus entirely new to the Australian flora.
Yours, etc.,
F. Mueller.
Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, Feb. 10, 1865.
Aspidium hispidum
Cyathea medullaris
