C. of E. Grammar School, Geelong1

Oct. 27th 1890

Dear Sir Ferdinand von Mueller

I shall bear in mind your request about the young growth of Claudea to be preserved in alcohol for Professor Cramer of Zürich

So far from regarding it as a trouble I can assure you I regard it as a privilege to be able to supply by my dredging any forms of life useful to scientific observers. Professor Agardh has generously sent me the latest instalment of Till Algernes Systematik,2 containing the Sporochnoidae &c. It contains I observe descriptions of the following plants forwarded by you.

Myriodesma quercifolium

Epiphloea grandifolia

Chylocladia monochlamydea

Ch. corynephora

Chrysymenia gelatinosa

Gloiophyllis palmata.3

Helminthocladia australis p. 39.

Tiarophora australis

Ptilonia subulifera

Chondriopsis ovalifolia —

Dasya Wilsonis

Dasyopsis atactica —

Dasya dictyuroides

Trigenea umbellata —

Several of the above are new.

Believe me ever with grateful regard

Yours sincerely

J Bracebridge Wilson
