Dear Prof Gray.
In rearranging the immense extraaustralian Herbarium here I find several omissions in H.f. & B. gen. vol. I & II1 & I am thus induced to ask, whether you have furnished or published any additions or corrections to this good & important work. I have sent some notes to the authors & in D.C. pr. XV J. Müller has furnished also supplemental data.2 Would it not be well you rendered any observations of yours briefly accessible. Thus an Australian phytographer has but little knowledge of American plants &c. Let me ask thus for instance what is Desmonema (Rafinesq. herb. 23 (1833) quoted by J. Müller? What is Forchhammera?3
Desmonema
Forchhammera
