Melbourne bot Garden,

15. May 1858.

My dear Sir William

Pardon me for not sending any new specimens of late. I intended to have sent a set of mosses from Mount Juliett,

M had visited Mt Juliet, Vic, between 22 and 26 April 1858.

but want of time prevented me from carrying my wish out, but they will come by the "Avon" which is to sail in about 3 weeks. I have however at least through a friend Mr Hick, forwarded the last vol. of our transactions, which just left the press. Having got lately some additions made to my house, I can keep the duplicate specimens in better order — and will have a board or shelve for yours separately, and the same for the L.S.

Linnean Society of London.

and for Asa Gray and Sonder

I trust Mr Duncan reached Kew in safety, & that my plants gave satisfaction.

See M to W. Hooker, 9 January 1858 (in this edition as 58-01-09a) and 15 February 1858 (in this edition as 58-02-15a).

We have just living plants obtained from the Grampians, so that I hope my next Ward. Case will bring the lovely , the singular Bauera? sessiliflora, &c.

Is it not possible to gain your or Dr Hookers or Mr Benthams sanction to the Genus & also ?

B59.02.02; See also M to G. Bentham, 15 June 1858, where the same plea is made.

I had not a single English letter by last mail, a circumstance which did not happen, since my North-Australian journey.

I shall shortly furnish a paper on the Australian of my collection.

B59.02.03, pp. 91-6.

Believe me,

Sir William, to be

Your very humble &

attached

Ferd. Mueller.
