From George Story to Ferdinand von Mueller   [Feb 1868]

It appears from thy letter of 12/2mo1 that I have not yet made out the Euphorbia chamesyce2 of wh thou wished more spms & to know under what circumstances it is found — I am at a loss to know the plant — Two plants occur to me as likely to be allied to Euph the one which I set down without examinatn to be a Gentian only found on a marsh on the Apsley3 & differing in many respects from the Genta Mta4 common on our hills

And a stellate flowg5 herb, on stony ground growing under Aotus & Tetratheca &c. both were sent I think.
