Ihre Goodenia, N.515, ist neu, lieber Herr Holtze, u ich werde solche beschreiben als G. Holtzeana sobald ich Frucht Exemplare erlange. An dem einzigen mir gesandten Ex ist auch nur 1 Blüthe.
Immer Ihr
Ferd. von Mueller.
521. Goodenia pumilio RBr. Frucht-Exemplare habe ich noch nicht gesehen.
13 November 1885.
Your Goodenia No. 515 is new, dear Mr Holtze, and I am going to describe it as G. holtzeana,1 as soon as I receive fruiting specimens. There is only one flower on the single specimen sent to me.
Always your
Ferd. von Mueller.
No. 521 Goodenia pumilio RBr. I have never seen fruiting specimens.
Goodenia holtzeana
Goodenia pumilio
Holtze's specimen survives as MEL 25768, filed under Goodenia leiosperma with one of M's herbarium labels inscribed in his hand, 'Goodenia Holtzeana | Port Darwin | Maur. Holtze | 515 / 1885', with a pencilled further note by M, 'Habit of Calogyne'. No record of M's publishing this name has been found. The name is now however used as the synonym for a species based on a Holtze specimen (MEL 68193) collected in 1884 (no. 431), named on M's accompanying herbarium label as Calogyne Holtzeana and formally described under that name by Specht in 1958.
