From Leonard Rodway to Ferdinand von Mueller   9 Feb 1892

Hobart,

Feb 9th /92.

Dear Baron,

I forward by this mail a parcel of plants.

Pomaderris elachophyllea1 in fruit.

Dillwynnia2-like shrub with minute stipules in flower & fruit. It grows in heathy places in many parts & always stipuled. I feel confident it has always been referr[ed]3 to D. ericaefolia

A Ranunculus of very spreading habit I have not met before. There is a quantity in a position where I should not expect to find an alien.

Nertera depressa or what I take for it from the sea shore near Trial Harbour, west coast.4

Two specimens of Cassytha are they both C. glabella?

And a Cladium I am very anxious to have the name of. I forwarded it before but unfortunately you were too much occupied at the time to look it up.

Apologising for taxing your time so much Believe me

Yours Faithfully

L Rodway
