22/8/91.
It was very kind of you, dear Mr Gill, to send me the two sorts of kino,1 which under your name I have forwarded to Mr Maiden, who specially asked for these two.
The Euc. hemiphloia was rightly recognized. I saw it near Mt Remarkable in 1850!2 Mine was a lonely ride and a dangerous one then.
Regardfully your
Ferd von Mueller.
Eucalyptus hemiphloia
See M to W. Gill, 5 August 1891.
A number of specimens at MEL have M's collecting labels indicating that they were collected at Mt Remarkable, SA, in October 1850.
MS is accompanied by an envelope: 'On Her Majesty's Service Walter Gill Esqr FLS., FRHS &c Conservator of Forests Adelaide Government Botanist, Melbourne, 22/8 1891'. The front bears the frank stamp and insignia of the 'CHIEF SECRETARY VICTORIA'.
