History at Camden Park
On 8th April, 1846, Macarthur placed an order for Mimulus, ‘10 splendid kinds’, with Hurst and McMullen, Seedsmen and Florists of London. [MP A2933-1, p.132]. There are no further records. It is possible that the named varieties included in the catalogues were from this source.
