From William Guilfoyle to Ferdinand von Mueller   3 Dec 1894

BOTANIC GARDENS,

MELBOURNE1

3 December 1894

Sir

As we are in some doubt about the right name of the enclosed, will you be kind enough to put us right?

The plant has for many years been labelled in the Gardens — "Brachycome glabra" but as that name does not appear in the Census of Australian plants I presume it is incorrect. It is a very free growing compact plant and blossoms throughout the summer.

Believe me

Sir

Faithfully yours

W. R. Guilfoyle

The Baron Sir F. Von Mueller KCMG F.R.S. &c &c &c

Government Botanist
