1/9/85.
The Eucalyptus, of which you sent branchlets, dear Mr Watson, is Euc. goniocalyx, concerning which you will find rather full information in my Eucalyptography.1 The timber is regarded as very valuable, and as durable also, altho' it is no so strong as that of some of our best timbers. The most durable would come from dry grounds.
If you desire still further information, I will gladly afford it.
Regardfully
your
Ferd. von Mueller.
