Jay1 5 /82.
My dear Mueller
I thank you much for your letter of 22/112 & offer of having Epacrideae sent in Cladonia — but really kind as the offer is I cannot wish it carried out. The chances of their arriving alive are microscopic. Your hint as to the maturing of the seeds is most valuable & quite new to me.
I will write to Webb & offer to pay him for Nuytsia cuttings & for seeds, with pleasure.
I think that Calectasias, Kingias & Baxterias might come alive packed with moss and Lichen.
We will gladly return you a case of live plants for your little Garden in spring, but do say what you would like to have; there is plenty of time.
I am trying to get through the Aroids for Gen. Plant.3 having finished Palms.
Ever sincerely yr
Jos D Hooker
