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.
Atriplex halimoides
