From Ferdinand von Mueller to the Gardeners' Chronicle   [Nov 1882]

[Double Flower of Tetratheca ciliata. — Baron von Mueller has kindly sent us a dried specimen of double flowers of this very pretty green- house shrub. If the variety could be perpetuated and introduced, it would doubtless be a favourite as a decorative plant.]1

Tetratheca ciliata

The article continues with a description of the nature of the double-flower, and the reasons for its botanical interest.
