From Leonard Rodway to Ferdinand von Mueller   [Nov 1890]

[In the early part of November 1890 my attention was directed, by a letter from Mr. L. Rodway, of Hobart,1 to his discovery of a remarkable plant, parasitic on the extreme roots of Aster argophyllus, and from his notes it was evident that this plant2 would at all events be new for the records of the indigenous vegetation of Tasmania.]3
