Dear Prof. Lindley
I beg to offer to you a proofplate of Gastrolobium grandiflorum, the poison-plant, discovered by J. M. Stuart near Attack Creek in N. W. Australia and which since has proved so destructive to flocks in the interior of Queensland between the Suttor River and the sources of the Flinders River.1 It is, as you will be aware, the only Gastrolobium, hitherto found out of the limits of N. W. Australia.
The fourth volume of the fragmenta, of which this plate is one, will I hope be transmitted for your kind acceptance by next mail, as well, as a volume of illustrations of Victorian plants.2
With profound regards
your
Ferd. Mueller.3
Gastrolobium grandiflorum
