Ich habe gleich noch ein Weilchen länger gearbeitet an Ihren Pflanzen, lieber Herr Tepper, um Ihnen gleich gerecht zu werden. Eine Reihe Namen sandte ich dieser Nachmittag bereits ab.
Das Lasiopetalum ist doch wohl nur L. Schulzenii.
Bestens grüssend
Ferd. von Mueller.

I have just worked a little while longer on your plants, dear Mr Tepper, in order to do justice to you immediately. I sent off a series of names this afternoon.2
The Lasiopetalum is probably only L. Schulzenii
Best greetings

This suggests that the sheets that now appear as a single letter in the bound volume of M's letters to Tepper may have been sent separately. As bound, the document comprises two sheets folded in half, one inside the other, preceded by a half-sheet that carries the identifications numbered 15-21 on one side and is blank on the other. The inner of the folded sheets has the section of the list numbered 7-8 on p. 1, p. 2 is blank, p. 3 carries nos 6-17, and p. 4 is blank; while on the outer folded sheet, p. 1 carries nos 30-57, p. 2 is blank, p. 3 carries nos 55-61 and the first paragraph of written text, while p. 4 has the remainder of the text including the valediction and date. (The arrangement, which recurs consistently throughout the correspondence, ensures that no page carrying identifications has other identifications on the verso, making it possible for Tepper to cut up the sheets and attach individual identifications to the relevant plant specimens, should he wish to do so; cf. M to M. Holtze, 26 October 1883.) It is therefore physically possible that nos 15-21 and/or 7-17 were what M says he sent earlier. The correspondence with Tepper that survives is not complete. While it is unlikely that any other earlier list would have dealt with specimens carrying higher numbers than those that appear here, it is possible that some with numbers in the interval 1-61 that are missing from the present list were determined and notified earlier in the day, and that the present pages were sent together, later. Tepper certainly treated them as a single letter in the table of contents that he prepared for the bound volume of letters, and we follow him in this. Given this, while the position of the text and valediction indicates that the two final pages of the outer folded sheet constitute the final part of the letter, the order in which the rest of the identifications is presented becomes completely arbitrary; we have chosen to follow that imposed by Tepper when he arranged the sheets for binding.
MS annotated on first sheet by Tepper: 'Kangaroo Island Plants 5.4.86'. The determinations deal with the earliest-numbered specimens collected on Kangaroo Island by Tepper during February and March 1886, for which the highest collecting number recorded at MEL is 147.
