C. of E. Grammar School, Geelong1
Nov. 17th. 1885.
The Baron Sir F. von Mueller
My dear Sir
I have much pleasure in sending by rail this day a package containing 333 specimens of Algs. which you may find useful either for the museum collection or to use as exchanges — I believe, thanks to Prof. Agardh that all are correctly named. I note in the 'Fragmenta' vol XI. that Callithamnion2 licmophora is given as by J. Agardh. From my correspondence with Prof. Agardh, it would appear to be more correctly Callithamnion licmophora Harvey. Agardh was not acquainted with the true C. licmophora until my last specimens reached him.
Believe me
Yours very faithfully
J Bracebridge Wilson.
Callithamnion licmophora
MS also bears the insignia of the school.
Error for Griffithsia? There is no entry for Callithamnion licmophora in Sonder's list of Australian algae in B80.11.01. There is, however, an entry (p. 11) for Griffiithsia licmophora, attributed to J. Agardh. In Wilson (1892), p. 186, Wilson synonymises Harvey's Callithamnion licmophora with Griffithsia licomorpha, citing Harvey (1858-63), vol. 2, plate 90.
MS annotation by M: 'Answ 22/11/85'. Letter not found.
