To Nicholas Holtze   22 July 1892

22/7/92

 

It was very pleasing to me, dear Mr Holtze, to receive the new sending of bot specimens. As I have now the Aristolochia in fl. & fr. I will be able to settle its name undisputably.

Please, remind your young brother1 at Powell Creek,2 that at this unusually moist spring the small annuals would be well out, so that I should be thankful for a full supply in flower and seed of them also. They are so easily put into envelopes

Regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller.

 

Minute annuals are more frequent in Central Australia than in your region, but easily overlooked.
