From Ferdinand von Mueller to Joseph Decaisne   24 Apr 1862

Melbourne botanic Garden

24/4/62.

My dear Professor.

I have much pleasure in informing you, that through the excellent Consul Mons. Truy I have forwarded to you and to 1few of your colleagues the 1 vol of "the plants indigenous to Victoria". Under favor of Mons. Camille Duquoy, who sailed a few days ago on "Marco Polo" I have forwarded a few dried plants (most I fear only duplicates of former collections) and 2242 sp of fresh collected seeds. If I find time I will send by this mail some notes on Cucurbitaceae3 & some dried plants for M. Naudin.

I will bear the requirement of seeds of timber trees for Algeria in mind.

Ever most regardfully

dear Prof Decaisne

yours

Ferd Mueller
