[Mr. W. H. Cornish, Trigonometrical Surveyor, has received from Baron Von Mueller, K.C.M.G., his opinion on the new saltbush from Central Australia.]2
Letter not found. The text given here is from 'A new saltbush from Central Australia', South Australian register, 8 October 1885, p. 5.
The article continues by reproducing the text of B85.09.01, presumably supplied to the newspaper by Cornish. This includes a formal description of the new species of saltbush, which M named Bassia Cornishiana in Cornish's honour. See also the specimen at MEL 101443.
