To Léon Dejardin   10 December 1888

10/12/88

M. le Chevalier De Jardin,

Consul General for France.

 

It gives me much pleasure, dear Consul, to send some more seeds of one of the best saltbushes for sheep-pastures, just received from the interior fresh. The species is this time Atriplex halimoides. It will grow as well on calcareous as on somewhat saline soil.

Regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller.
