From Ferdinand von Mueller to Ralph Tate 25 Dec 1880
Christmas/1880.
Have just received, dear Prof Tate, from my nephew Mr Edward Wehl (son of Dr Wehl) a specimen of Sebaea albidiflora from Lake Bonney.1 The plant is new for S.A., and this information may be in time for your census2 or at all events for some supplemental notes.3 With best wishes for the new year
Ferd. von Mueller.
Sebaea albidiflora
Covering letter not found. There are two Lake Bonney locations in SA; Tate (1889a) records the species from 'Region G', 'the extreme south-east corner of this Colony', thus the specimen was collected from the lake near Millicent.
Tate (1880).
The species is first recorded by Tate in Tate (1882b), p. 103.
On the verso of M’s letter there are notes, as follows, apparently unrelated to the letter, in what is probably Tate's hand, accompanied by a small sketch:
