From William Fitzgerald to Ferdinand von Mueller   31 Aug 1892

P. O. St Helens1

August 31st /92

Honoured Sir

Enclosed you should find specimens of a plant which I take to be Cerastium glomeratum but I am by no means certain. As far as I can see it has every characteristic of that plant but is of smaller growth. It is very common near St Helen's Heads. The enclosed are mature plants. Thanking you in anticipation I remain yours faithfully

Wm. V. Fitzgerald
