[Baron von Mueller informs us of the discovery of a new fruit tree called by him Bassia Erskineana, and native of south-eastern New Guinea]1
Bassia Erskineana
Although presented in the form of a letter, '"For many years," writes the Baron …', the remaining text follows B85.04.01, evidently sent by M to the Gardeners' chronicle.
Letter not found. The text given here is from 'A New Fruit Tree', Gardeners' chronicle, 6 June 1885, p. 734. It is dated to April as the latest likely date it could have been sent to have been published in this issue.
