From Ferdinand von Mueller to Otto Tepper   12 Sep 1882

12/9/82

Ihre N. 874, lieber Herr Tepper ist Pt. pedunculata (R.Br) in einer ungewöhnlich grossen Form. Die Art ist neu für S. A.

85 = Pt. cucullata RBr. Ihre Pilz-Bilder werden einen netten Beitrag zur Mycologie Australiens liefern, falls Sie die Originale für microsc. Untersuchungen aufbewahren.

Bestens grüssend

Ferd. von Mueller.

Your no. 874, dear Mr Tepper, is Pt. pedunculata1 (R.Br.) in an unusually large form. The species is new for South Australia.

85 = Pt. cucullata2 R.Br. Your fungi illustrations3 will produce a nice contribution to the mycology of Australia, if you keep the originals for microscopical investigations.

Best greetings

Ferd. von Mueller.
