From William Woolls to Ferdinand von Mueller   11 Oct 1875

Oct. 11/75

My dear Doctor,

Will you kindly tell me whether the enclosed "Asterolasia" is a distinct species, or whether I am to regard it as the mountain variety of A. correifolia?

The flowers & leaves are larger in every respect, than those of the Parramatta shrub, & the pedicels are longer.

Mr Bentham's description does not seem to include this form of it.2

Yours very sincerely

W. Woolls

Baron F. von Mueller C.M.G
