Melbourne bot. & zool Garden,
25. Oct. 1860
My dear Prof. Planchon.
I received your letter duely, requesting me to send you vegetable products of this country for your pharmaceutical Museum. I will gladly do so at the end of this season, when I will be able to offer you many other things.
Allow me to ask you, whether you could kindly manage it for us, to transmit to us from Malta or elsewhere the Bergamotte Lemon? It is as yet not in this country & I have no doubt it would thrive here well.
I am delighted to hear of the progress of your meritorius work on the plants of New Granada.1 I am not so rapidly progressing with "the plants of Victoria", my time being engaged professionally in many other duties. Still I hope to have the pleasure of laying before you the first volume early in 1861.2
With the sincerest regards,
dear Professor,
yours
Ferd. Mueller
