From Ferdinand von Mueller to Charles H. French   9 Apr 1896

9/4/96.

It is very obliging of you, dear Mr French, to send me the specimens of Prasophyllum despectans. As it is a comparatively rare species I shall be thankful for all the specimens from your new locality and will send them out as collected by you.

Regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller
