To William Thiselton-Dyer   7 September 1892

7/9/921

 

The distribution of the spare-specimens of plants, gathered during the Elder-Expedition,2 dear Dr Dyer, takes place (on my own desire) from Adelaide, but will probably be carried out only some few months hence, when the whole 800 phanerogams will have been carefully examined. I revised about 500 already after Prof Tates preliminary naming. I find only about one dozen actually new sp. among them. You will receive one of the best sets for Kew.

Regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller.
