Herewith, dear Dr Story, I return the list of the names of the plants you so very kindly sent. You will find them all named according to our latests observations.
The beautiful supply of Anthocercis Tasmanica and of Helichrysum lycopodioides pleased me very much —
You have again shown new localities for rare plants.
Among the fresh water-plants you will find doubtless yet many hitherto overlooked. Even the smallest and most insignificant of them will be welcome
Trusting you will continue your most valuable communications I remain your regardful
Ferd. von Mueller
The little creeping plant named Geranium N. 4 seems to me Veronica plebeja. However flowers & fruits are wanting!
Leucopogon collinus Br occurs in your collection without number. It is near L. ericoides
I would advise to adopt simply a current number for all your plants. You will find that such numbers will aid us both with the greatest facility1

2359 interlined.
C. coronopifolia?
Name not found; not in APNI or IPNI (accessed 8 May 2024).
Illegible interlining by Story.

Apalochlamys?
O. thyrsoideus?
MS annotation by Story: 'Geranium No. 4 is Veronica Plebeya fls & frt wanted. Leucopgon Collinus'.
