[I find from a communication of Baron Mueller, that for some time past he has had an idea that Myriogyne might be used for medicinal purposes, and that he had actually submitted it to Dr. Springthorpe, an eminent physician in Melbourne, for purposes of experiment. The Baron however was not aware of its efficacy in simple ophthalmic inflammation, and he regarded the discovery as interesting.]
