Text:
"Delete Trianthema humillima, F. v. M. Mr. J. H. Willis, of the Melbourne Herbarium, informs me that further investigation of specimens from Maitland, Yorke Peninsula, prove that this is not a flowering plant, but a small moss, Gigaspermum repens (Hook.) Lindb. Mueller mistook the columella of the spore-case (sporocarp, sporangium) for the erect free-central placenta of Trianthema and the numerous spores for seeds."
