Mueller, 1879-84. (" Eucalyptographia ") " . . . .the latter (capsule) with 

 3 -5. rarely 2 or 6 3 wholly or partially exserted or entirely enclosed valves , , , ." 



I reproduce Mueller's quaint language, as it is often remarkably descriptive, 

 although sometimes not as English as he intended. Many a time, both verbally and in 

 writing, has he corrected me, explaining that he understood the nuances of the English 

 language and I didn't. His improvements of the language extended not only to 

 verbiage and phraseology, but also to the structure of whole sentences. 



As regards Valves, he is very fond of the word '"' deltoid,'' and employs it no 

 less than 53 times (out of a hundred species) and sometimes the equivalent " delta- 

 shaped." It really means an equilateral triangle.
