Acacia pycnantha

Cassytha glabella

Chorizandra enodis

Cotula australis

Erodium cygnorum

Galium

Goodenia Heterochila

Helipterum pygmaeum

Senecio brachyglossus

This number is used twice: Chorizandra enodis and the unrelated Lawrencella davenportii.

Number 407 is used for a Galium in later letters in 1895: M to J. Hussey, October 1895 (in this edition as 95-10-00f), and M to J. Hussey, 13 November 1895, as M tried to identify it.

Record number 406 is a specimen of Galium murale, dated 1895 but with no note of reproductive condition. There are two specimens with record number 407, both dated 1895, G. murale and G. divaricatum, but neither has any details of reproductive condition.

Item is a typescript, transcriber unknown, prepared ca. 1977 from an original MS in the State Library of South Australia, Adelaide.

Number 416 is used twice in the Hussey collection at MEL. M's names, or a synonym or a name that is known to have been misapplied, match the identifications used at MEL (AVH, accessed 4 August 2024; names checked APNI, APC accessed 26 August 2024). Specimens are dated to 1895. The numbers in this list follow on from M to J. Hussey, June 1895 (in this edition as 95-06-00g) and are followed by the main sequence in M to J. Hussey, August 1895 (in this edition as 95-08-00h). It is therefore tentatively dated to July 1895.
