As new for S.A., dear Prof. Tate, I beg to mention to you Melaleuca Leucadendron L. Mr Alfr. Henry gathered it between Hergott's Spring1 and Eyre's Creek. — There cannot be a doubt about the identity of the plant; but I have only a few fragments. As you have specimens from Arnhem's Land,2 it does not seem necessary, to send you what little I have of it from extra-tropic S.A.
Regardfully
your
Ferd. von Mueller
Melaleuca Leucadendron
