My dear Prof Decaisne,
Since a long time I have been most anxious to avail myself of your unequalled knowledge of Asclepiadeae, to have those of my herbarium named and described. If your manyfold duties not require all your precious time and you can afford the necessary leisure for the purpose and you feel sufficient attraction in the review, I will be most happy to send you my normal collection of Asclepiadeae, of which you may retain all the duplicates, if you will be so kind to restore the main set to our Governments Herbarium. The collection is not unconsiderable and will probably acquire yet some additions from N. E. Australia, where a collector of our establishment1 is stationed.
With kind regards
dear Sir,
yours
Ferd. Mueller.
John Dallachy.
