21/9/82.
It was a lapsus calami, dear Mr Dyer, when I wrote Eupatorium1 instead of Euryngium.2 I remember quite well from the Kew Report that you referred the beautiful new fibre to Euryngium, several stately species of which genus I used to cultivate in the bot. Garden.
Regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller.
Eupatorium
Euryngium
