To William Thiselton-Dyer   17 June 1892

17/6/921

 

Herewith, dear Dr Dyer, some seeds of Eucal. drepanophylla, of which species I was only recently able to distribute seeds, such not having been accessible to me in former years. As this is a very important species, not only on2 account of its elastic and durable timber, but also as especially suited for tropic countries, you may like to send some to correspondents in aequatorial or subaequatorial colonies. Do you care for such seeds or similar kinds for your distributions from Kew?

Regardfully

your

Ferd. von Mueller.
