17/3/82.
When writing to you yesterday,1 dear Mr Mitten, I forgot to ask, what Gigaspermum repens of Lindberg is. Like Pleurophascum grandiglobum he must have had it from me, but he never sent me a copy of the description, nor did he return a bid2 for the Gov. Collection here, though he sent some prints on European Mosses by last mail. As there will be soon supplements to the Moss-list, I should like to add this Gigaspermum at its proper place.3
Regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller.
You seem to have described it as a Leptangium, according to Sauerbeck & Jaeger.4
Gigaspermum repens
Leptangium

No letter of M to W. Mitten of 16 March 1882 has been found, but see M to W. Mitten, 15 March 1882 (in this edition as 83-03-15a).
