Ferdinand von Mueller to Charles Darwin, 1858-03 [58.03.00c]. R.W. Home, Thomas A. Darragh, A.M. Lucas, Sara Maroske, D.M. Sinkora, J.H. Voigt and Monika Wells (eds), Correspondence of Ferdinand von Mueller, <https://vmcp.rbg.vic.gov.au/id/58-03-00c>, accessed November 15, 2024

Letter not found. The text given here is transcribed from C. Darwin to J. Hooker, 28 January 1859, pp [3-4], (http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-DAR-00115-00004/3). M’s letter was almost certainly his answer to C. Darwin to M, 8 December 1857, and was almost certainly written in March 1858 (see M to W. Hooker, 15 April 1858).

[I have now looked & found passage in F. Müllers letter to me, in which he says In the wildernesses of Australia some European perennials are “advancing in sure progress” “not to be arrested” &c. — he gives as instances (so I suppose there are other cases) eleven species. viz 3 — , , Tar[a]xicum
