Mit dem Bennennen der Xerotes Arten hat es immer Schwierigkeit, lieber Herr Tepper, wenn man nicht Blüthen beider Geschlechter u reife Früchte hat.
1323 ein Garten Flüchtling, südafrikanische Asclepiadea.
1320 Acacia longifolia, Willdenow (var.)
1318 (No. 29) vielleicht neu, Blüthe u Früchte fehlen.

There is always difficulty with the naming of the Xerotes species, dear Mr Tepper, when you do not have flowers of both sexes and ripe fruits.
1323 a garden escape, South African Asclepiadea.
1320 Acacia longifolia Willdenow (var.)
1318 (No. 29) possibly new, flowers and fruit are lacking.
1321 Aster microphyllus Vent. (var)
The coral-like lichen Cladonia retipora.
1153 (N 14) Claytonia (Calandrinia) Bentham regarded this as an introduced South American species, which I would like to doubt.2
1322 Lactuca saligna L
1325 Heliotropium curassarium L.
1332 Cladonia
1326 Chenopodium murale L.
With best greetings
Your Ferd. von Mueller.
