12/3/89
The following, dear Sir George, are the works, to which I alluded at your hospitable home as available in numerous impressions yet at the Gov Printing office:
Myoporinous plants of Australia, quarto with 75 plates.1
Iconography of Australian species of Acacia, quarto with 130 plates.2
Census of Australian plants, quarto.3
Key to the system of Victorian plants, pt. 1 & 2 octavo. (1888)4
Select plants for industrial culture and naturalisation, octavo 1888 (7th edition, enlarged)5
Perhaps copies can also be obtained yet of the Quarto "Eucalyptographia" with 110 plates.6
The volume on Salsolaceae with nearly 100 plates7 will likely be ready at the end of this year.
Regardfully your
Ferd. von Mueller.
An estimate of the likely cost of reprinting any of the several volumes of the "Fragmenta" I will furnish later.8
Since writing this I have learnt, that the "Census of Australian plants" is available only now in few impressions yet at the Gov. Printing Office. But anyhow I was anxious, to bring out a new edition with all the additional information of the last 7 or 8 years in 1889 still.9
