Your Fringlily, 1310, dear Mr Holtze, is Thysanotus chrysanthereus. Is it an annual? Could you ascertain this by pot-culture? Are the anthers always yellow? 1300 Solanum Could I get a specimen with ripe berries also? Is it a dwarf plant?
1278. Solanum ellipticum? RBr The fruit must prove it
1284 Solanum also ripe berries needed and notes on height
I have given a note in the proceed. of the Linnéan Soc. of N.S.W on Hypoestes moschata under your father's and my united authority.1 If you have some more seeds of it, I should be obliged. I will soon give you further information on your plants.
Always regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller
The dedication to Earl Kinore2 shall be attended to.
Seeds of the blue-flowering droseraceous plant, Byblis liniflora would be particularly valuable.
