3. I. 96
My dear Baron,
Your letter re Claudea was duly received.1 You may rest assured that should this plant ever turn up again your remarks and requirements will be strictly attended to. Our dredging trips are, however so few & far between, from the want of funds that it must be some time before any reasonable chance occurs. The original examples were examined by our Mr. T. Whitelegge, who is no mean Cryptogamic Botanist, but he failed to find any in a state of fructification. Rest assured the matter shall not be lost sight of. What about Mr Fitzgerald? Have his researches come to an end?
Faithfully yrs,
R. Etheridge
Baron Sir F. von Mueller M.D, K.C.M.G., F.R.S, &c
Melbourne.
Claudea
