10/9/82.

My best thanks are due to you, honored and venerable Sir, that you so obligingly inquired into the claims of . I hope, that I have not been indiscrete in giving publicity to that portion of your last kind letter. I had just to write an article (gratis) for the monthly number of the pharmaceutic Society of Victoria, as a honor. Member, and was glad of the opportunity, to seize on a subject interesting for pharmaceutic readers.

B82.09.01. See A. de Candolle to M, 27 July 1882 (in this edition as 82-07-27a), quoted extensively in M's article.

With all others I admire your working power at so advanced an age! You must feel happy, to have maintained the high name of your illustrious father so well and so long, and that a gifted and assiduous son follows your footsteps.

At the end of the year I shall be able to send you the "census" of the Austral. plant- species , which is now printed as far as ( ) as a Commentary to the Flor. Australiensis and the fragmenta.

I have restored Labillardières first and also Loureiro's . I hope the change will be pleasing to you and M. Casimir de Candolle, as it is now a grand monument in bot. science dedicatory.

The Eucalyptography is in arrear, because the Gov. Printing office is partly burnt down.

I am greatly beholden to you for sending me so kindly your essay on Darwin.

A. de Candolle (1882a).

I greatly admire his "voyage",

Darwin (1839).

his geologic researches, but not his "adscende" theories.

Darwin (1859).

With regardful and grateful remembrance your

Ferd. von Mueller.

I feel greatly obliged to Dr Fournier also.

De Candolle, in the extract of his letter published by M, reported having had help from Fournier in Paris in answering M's query.

Like with , , &c Botanists will become quickly accustomed to use the name instead of .
