From Frederick McCoy to Ferdinand von Mueller   [Sep 1879]

[In a letter, written to me in September 1879, he traces the Mellitose-flow also to the action of Cyclocheila Australiae, likewise fully described and brilliantly figured in the Decade quoted above]1

McCoy (1878-90), decade 5, plate 50, where it is called Cyclochila australasiae.

Letter not found. The text given here is from the entry on Eucalyptus viminalis in M's Eucalyptographia, B84.11.02, where he discusses the origins of the so-called manna associated with the species.
