21/6/95.
The work in my branch of the service, dear Miss Walker has been so overwhelming for many month in the rural interest of the breadwinning people, at this dire period, that I could do little of strictly scientific work, more especially so, as I am and have been passing the nineth enlarged edition of my "Select plants for industrial culture1 through the press, the eighth having been exhausted by gradual sale at the Gov. Printing office here.2 When the work will be out next month, I will attend to all the arrear collections accumulated since here. Your climber is not at hand, but the shrub of which you sent a sprig in early bud only, is the Pomaderris ligustrina. it is a rather rare species, of which in summer I wood3 like to have some well ripened seeds.
I send you herewith fresh seeds of an important pasture-herb.
With regardful remembrance your
Ferd. von Mueller
Pomaderris ligustrina
