Melbourne
8/1/75.
Allow me to ask you, dear Dr Story, whether you have the enclosed Scirpus (S. fluviatilis A Gray) in water fresh or nearly so at your place. It is not Scirpus maritimus. It is larger, has triangular pointed fruits and longer setae.
Trusting that the new year will be to you one of happiness and health I remain your regardful
Ferd. von Mueller.
Scirpus fluviatilis
Scirpus maritimus
