Hiermit, lieber Herr Tepper, einige neue Druckblätter. Ihre letzten Pflanzen muss ich bei Tage untersuchen, denn diese Zeilen schreibe ich in einer späten Nachtsstunde.
Bei der Revision der Acacien für den Census haben auch die meisten von Ihnen, welche noch nicht gemustert waren, die Revue passirt. Ich habe eine Liste der Addenda aus allen SA späteren Sammlungen an Hr Prof Tate gesandt, 11 Arten für S.A. bisher neu; von diesen kommt A lanigera auf Sie allein.1
Mit bestem Grusse
Ferd. von Mueller.
407 mag A papyrocarpa sein. Solche ist nur aus R.Br.'s Sammlung bekannt. Ihre ist leider ohne Frucht. Könnte solche um Weihnacht durch Ihren Nachfolger herbeigeschafft werden.
Cyrtostylis reniformis richtig von Ihnen erkannt.
Besten Dank für Eriochilus fimbriatus
811 Euphorbia eremophila, A Cunn.

Herewith, dear Mr Tepper, some new publications. I must investigate your last plants by day, because I am writing these lines at a late night hour.
In the revision of the Acacias for the census, the majority from you that were not yet reviewed have also passed the review. I have sent a list of addenda from all of the later South Australian collections to Professor Tate, 11 species up to now new for South Australia; of these A. lanigera comes from you alone2
With best greetings
Ferd. von Mueller.
407 may be A. papyrocarpa. It is known only from Robert Brown's collection.3 Yours is unfortunately without fruit. Could it be obtained at Christmas by your successor.4
Cyrtostylis reniformis is correctly recognised by you.
Best thanks for Eriochilus fimbriatus
811 Euphorbia eremophila A. Cunn.
Acacia lanigera
Acacia papyrocarpa
Cyrtostylis reniformis
Eriochilus fimbriatus
Euphorbia eremophila
Ich gebe Ihnen hier die Nummern [I give you the numbers here] deleted.
In this paragraph, 'census' must refer to the update of the SA census being prepared for publication as Tate (1882), not to M's B83.03.04 in which Acacia lanigera is not shown as occurring in SA in either the main entry, p. 43, or the 'Additional annotations', p. 142. Nor is its range extended to SA in any of the 'annual supplements', B84.03.06 and following. It is listed as being in SA in B89.12.03, p. 74. It is included in Tate (1882), p. 86, acknowledging Tepper as the collector.
Described in Bentham (1863-78), p. 338, from a specimen in the herbarium of Robert Brown (1773-1858) that was collected by him in March 1802 (Brown (2001), p. 160, n. 55).
Tepper had moved from the school at Ardrossan on the Yorke Peninsula, SA, to Clarendon, south of Adelaide, in August 1881.
MS annotation by Tepper: 'Reply 6.8.82'. Letter not found.
