MEMO. from the CURATOR to
26th April 1894
Dear Baron von Mueller,
I send you a Myrtus (in fruit only) which I doubtfully refer to M. Hillii. In one fruit I counted as many as 50 seeds. If convenient to you will you kindly return me the specimen? You have a number of my specimens of Myrtus already. I find great difficulty in determining some species, and I only wish you had time to write a brief monograph of the genus (as regards the Australian forms) for the Linnean Society of N.S.W.
Yours truly,
J. H. Maiden.
Myrtus Hillii
MS bears letter head of the Technological Museum, Sydney. MS found with a specimen of Archirhodomyrtus beckleri (MEL 1547052).
