Melbourne,
28 Sept. 1888.
To the Chevalier Lejardin,
Consul General for France &c &c
It affords me much pleasure, honored and dear Sir, to send you an other small quantity of the seeds of the best Central-Australian Salt-Bush, fresh collected; and I shall gladly continue to exert myself for obtaining further supplies, as these kinds of plants would likely become of pastural importance not only in the subsaline regions of North-Africa, but also for those of the South-West of France.
Let me remain,
dear Consul,
regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller.
