TRANSLATION
Dear Friend,

By accident I learned from your brother too late that he is going to mail a letter
to you this evening which makes it impossible for me to write to you in detail (which
by the way shall still happen) so I want at least to enclose a short note and to let you
know what comes to mind during the short minutes I have to write this letter. Some of
your things contained in your seed shipment of last year have groun ...

I was very happy
to have received your seed shipment which is for our garden and no doubt will contain
many things; the seeds will be sown and tended carefully just as the ones Ruppel sent
from Abyssinia of which the first part is already flowering and is now in fruit, namely
a new Ornithogalum. Ruppel, this indefatigable and hard working friend arrived here
safely in the midst of his friends several weeks ago;

his last, very important collection
of natural material preceded him and furnished us with a treasure of the most splendid
things, which as soon as they have set up will be the joy of the public interested in
natural science. It contains, for instance, a number of new species of Antelopes and
wonderful monkeys; illustrations of them were finished a few days ago, entirely black with
a long white hair covering on both sides of the back.

Also the botanical department
received most important things, unfortunately not as much seed as I had hoped for, but

the dried plants, among them very many new things. I have more work than ever for the

next years. I have published a paper about the previous shipments from Arabia-Egypt in
the new publication of our Society: Zeitschrift, Museum Senckenbergianum; treatises in

the field of natural sciences, etc. of which Just now the printing of the third issue
began which will finish the first volume. I urge very much to heighten the interest in
this Zeitschrift by a contribution of yours.

In several weeks the annual meeting of the natural scientists will begin, this time
held at Stuttgart. Many people from here will attend since it is not far away. I intend
also to go. Recently I made the acquaintance here at the Museum of some of the traveling
botanists, among them Mr. Benthem from London who is revising the Labiateae, Link from
Berlin who is going to Siberia with L. v. Bush. The latter (Link) sat in my room from

3 to 7 o'clock studying with great interest the Abyssian plants. But I must finish now,
there is not enough space and time.

With heartiest greetings
Yours G. Fresenius.

Dear Friend,

Since I learned from your brother that he intends to send a shipment to you some
time this month, I don't want to miss the opportunity to send you something. Thanks,
many thanks in my name and that of the Naturforschende Gesellschaft for the shipment
which arrived here in May of last year containing 65 species,

as well as for the previ-
ously sent mosses, all highly welcome and wonderful contributions for the Society's

herbarium, which, since all my applications for the purchase of new plants have been
turned down regularly, would never grow if not once in a while a generous friend,
namely a compatriot would think of us.

Again I accept your offer and am waiting for
more shipments for the herbarium.

What will I get from him, you may ask? Even if he
doesn't have many valuable duplicates, why doesn't he send something from the Botanical

Garden? -- Dear Friend, unfortunately the botanical section of the Society is still
being taken care of by only one person, and this person is myself and since I also ama

physician I have so little time for collecting that I was not able to send you more than
the little things which I collected for you. Also Ohler has no time and the apprentice
in the Garden, who by the way is an able and eager young man, uses his leisure hours for
making his own herbarium. However, next summer I shall do more for you than I have

done up to now; at least there is no lack of good intentions.

Everything I am sending you are things you already know; but you wished to receive
especially cultivated plants of the flora grown from your seeds.

sciences natur. At this point he further said about Cuscuta arabica:
"Ehe comparison of many plants led to unite the one

(Original in French)
of Mr. Fresenius with C. Epithynum. In fact, the specimens collected in
Southern France, parasites of Artemisia maritima, showed me the transition

with regard to the shape of the calix and the corolla between the one
collected at Mount Sinai and those of C. Epithynum. In the latter, the
corolla is tubular just as in those collected at Mount Sinai, and keeps its
shape which is the same as I observed in those coming from the vicinity

from Montpelier. The shape of the appendix of the corolla and the length

of the style is identical in all three as well as the thickness of the branches".
I don't have the time to take this matter up again, you will see best what you can

do with this matter.
You asked whether no botanists are coming up here. During the sixteen years I
was teaching botany at the Medical Institute, some time a young promising botanist
One of the most able of my former students

appeared, but most of them disappeared again.
who stayed with it is Dr. G. Mettenius who already distinguished himself by his thorough

work about the history of the development of Rhizocarbon; last summer he spent at the
North Sea because of Algae, the winter he spent in Berlin, and as I heard now, he is
going to Vienna. Also among my present students are some which give much promise and
are diligent young men, but I don't believe that they have enough interest to follow
the profession of a botanist.
Recently there is much work going on at the Museum. Apart from Ruppel and myself,
Dr. Schiff (a young physician who had already done much biological research) is now

working on the birds, Dr. A. Schmidt and Dr. Giebel on fossils, Dr. Kloss jun. on
There is much more order now

minerals, Dr. „o...... gives lectures on Zoology, etc.
in the situation of the Society than there was previously, but still there is the lack
of funds for buying new nature material which especially hurts the botanical section
very much. Therefore, we can't even think of buying Lindheimer's plants or the
Schimper collection which is so necessary and important for us. Therefore, I am still
working on Ruppel's Abyssinian plants of which many have yet been described or sorted.
I should like to mention to you a diligent worker in the botanical section, Mr.
Bayrhoffer whose specialty are mosses, liverworts and lichens and he studies and sorts
this part of our collection and just presented the Society with a marvelous moss

herbarium with plants he collected and sorted himself.
By the way, you wrote that I probably have received a small package of plants
