Christmas-day / 1886.
It is with much delight, hon. and venerable Sir, that I learn of the final arrangements made by you, for receiving the msc. of the Myoporinae in 1887. This will give me time, to complete before the dichotomous Key to the system of Vict. plants.1 I have material, to include also the extra austr. spec., your M. Mauritianum &c., but Spielmannia must be excluded.
For Mr Vesque I beg to include specimens of an Australian Kayea &c, as a contribution to his monography of Guttiferae.
May the new year to you and all those dear to you, be one replete with happiness.
Ferd. von Mueller.
A complete series of typical specimens of the Myoporinae will be sent to you with the msc.2
Guttiferae
Kayea
Myoporinae
