18/7/89
Herewith, dear Consul, I send the seeds of the Eucalyptus polyanthema, of which I spoke as very valuable for dry regions, and as yielding a superior sort of timber. I have promises of Saltbush seeds from various desert places, but none have arrived yet.
With regardful and grateful remembrance
your Ferd. von Mueller
Eucalyptus polyanthema
