I must examine these specimens of the Hooger herbarium once more. 
l.Tasmaria_ Gunn Accordine to your description is probably I. 
elatior F.Muller mihi;The only thing perplexing for me is,that it 
has been collected by Gunn,whereas another species lies in the 
Hooker herbarium also collected by Gunn, and the present one, 
collected by Archer is also in the Hooker herbarium. The Gunn spe- 
cies in the Hooker herbarium is quite short,thick leaves with a 
hard cuticle,macrospores from 0.84 - 0.90 dia,microspores with 
faint indentations. Besides there are 2 other species ( 4 allto- 
gether) o& New Zealand, Zwithout veils:eranii and elatior,and 2 with 
totally closed veils:Mulleri and Stuartii,mihi. 
Finally I want to propose a classification (see page 10) 
Note on side of orieinal letter, page 9: 
We have not received the endine of the dissertation on 
Juncus. Beckman is waiting for it with impatience, because 
he would like to translate it into German and prepare anno- 
tations.
