[I shall look forward with some interest to Dr. Mueller’s report respecting it,1 seeing that he has determined to give this grass a trial in the Botanical Garden at Melbourne. In a communication which I had the pleasure to receive from that distinguished botanist, he stated that he had never seen the grass in the course of his expeditions, and therefore I presume it is not common in Northern or Southern Australia.]
At this point in his letter, Woolls is discussing Anisophogon avenaceus [Anisopogon?].
Letter not found. For the text given here see the Sydney morning herald, 3 March 1858, p. 8, in a letter to the Editor by Woolls. M’s letter to Woolls is dated to December 1857 on the basis of an earlier reference by Woolls to M’s supplying him with the same information; see Sydney morning herald, 24 December 1857, p. 8.
