1//5/86.
Am very glad, dear Mr Barbey, that you are supplementing the great work of the never to be forgotten M. Boissier. Had he lived I would have sent him my only specimen of the Euphorbia corynoclada, as it would have highly interested him, that being the only large carnulent1 species (of the section Euphorbium) indigenous to Australia.2 Do you care to interchange occasionally a few hundred dried plant with me, Mr Tate's parcel-office affords for this here now cheap facilities.
Would it be worthy of your consideration, to elaborate a statistic of the Flora Orientalis for easy glance over the distribution as I have done in my Census of Australian plants? I am endeavouring, to get Regel or Maximowicz to do something similar for the Russian Flora, — and Hance for the Chinese Flora. Such tabulated indices would facilitate phytogeographic studies very much, not only at home, but also abroad, not only locally but also universally!
Regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller.
