From Ferdinand von Mueller to Isaac Tyson   21 Jan 18961

21/1/96

Honored Sir

I should feel much indebted if you would mention to me those indigenous grasses and pasture herbs particularly the perennial species on which horses cattle and sheep are feeding in your country with avidity, and which are not already well known as economic plants. They would then be inserted, with such remarks as you may offer under your honored name, in the 10th edition of my work on "Select plants" for industral culture and naturalisation2

Regardfully yours

Ferd. von Mueller.
