Adelaide, 8/12/79
Dear Sir Ferdinand,
Your favor of 2d. inst. received this morning.1 I am glad that you have been able to settle satisfactorily the difference between E. hemiphloia and E. Behriana.2
The Bark of E. Behriana is (though smooth) generally of a dark colour. The tree is as frequently one stemmed as with several stems.
I was up before a Commission on Public Works being held here at present, and quoted largely from your valuable work on "Select Plants."3 I am trying to get our Public Works Dept. to include E. leucoxylon in specifns for Railways &c
Yours very truly
J. E. Brown
Baron F. Von Mueller K.C.M.G.
