Dear Baron Mueller
I hope it is not that your health is worse that I hear so seldom from you — a gentleman our mutual friend Mr E. Palmer has just given me a few very nice specimens of the Gum you will remember I sent to you some years ago The Paroo Yellow Jacket and you named it Eucalyptus ochrophloia — I send them all by this mail to you as they may assist you for a figure in your excellent and most useful work the Eucalyptographia3 by the bye I have not yet received the 9th decade4 [neither] the suppnt5 to the census of Austn Plants
You will see by the enclosed report6 that I have named the Acrostichum of which I sent you some time back fronds A. Taylori for I have no doubt that the Specimen Mr Bentham refers to where this7
Mr A C Gregory's journal8 is out but I expect he has sent it on to you he mentions you frequently in it
Hoping that your health is improving
Your much obliged
F. M. Bailey
Acrostichum Taylori
Eucalyptus ochrophloia
