Munich, December 12, 188? 



Esteemed Sirl . 



You are receiving herewith the promised extract from the duplicates of the 

 Royal Herbarium, naturally with the consent of the curator. In the selection of this 

 I took into consideration as much as possible your wishes in regard to the flora of 

 Labrador, Japan, Greece, and Brazil and. hope that the largest part will be new for 

 you* Sometimes the specimens turned out rather meagre but for the moment nothing 

 eise could be done; later on it will probably go better. J At the beginning of my 

 occupation at the Royal Herbarium I found no orderly dupjicate reserve at all in the 

 true sense. of . the word, which also could not at all be in the private interest of 

 those employed in this. 



In exchange you have promised plants from Texas of which, with the exception of 

 individual ones from Drummond, only a few are at hand at the Royal Herbarium. 

 Besides, plants which have become known through you, are naturally most welcome at 

 the Herbarium. Moreover, the North-American flora is pretty well represented in the 

 Herbarium of Zuccarini through Mr. Gray, Torrey and Tuckermann, namely by individ- 

 ual families, as e. g. the Cyperaceae , Smilaceae . Unfortunately there is no special 

 catalogue about these families in the herbarium, so that what is missing could 

 more easily be completed. 



In the event that from the German or Munich Flora you wish to have one or the 

 other, then please send us a desiderata list. 



If I do not have occasion to write to you again before your return trip, then 

 in addition to wishing you a Happy New Year, I also wish you a pleasant journey, 

 and remain, 



Sincerely, 



Dr. T. H. Schult es 



Prof. Sendtner sends his greetings.
