By this mail, dear Dr Beccari, I have posted to you the only specimen of an only palm, received from Sir William Macgregor among the dried plants, gathered by his Excellency on his tour up the Fly-River1 Will you be so kind, to send a few fragments back for the Government Herbarium here, after you have examined the species
Three iron cylinders, filled with methylized alcohol, and sent for collecting purposes by me, will be this week emptied of the botanic specimens, contained therein. Should palms be among them they will be also sent to you
You will have received my essay on Governor Macgregors alpine or high lands plants some months ago.2
Regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller
