Die A. arabica sollte wichtig dort werden u gut wachsen, leiber Herr Holtze; ich habe lange nichts von Ihnen erhalten. Wie geht's mit u M. orbicularis dort. Haben Sie das ächte Panicum spectabile ? (nicht Andropogon Halepensis, das von Adelaide als Coapim versandt wurde)

Bestens grüssend

A. arabica

. M evidently knew that the introduced source of gum arabic was already growing and mature at Darwin, NT. In M to M. Holtze, 4 May 1888 (in this edition as 88-05-04b) he asked for fresh seed, which he acknowledged receiving in M to M. Holtze, 20 October 1881 (in this edition as 88-10-20a).

should become important there and grow well, dear Mr Holtze. I haven't received anything from you for a long time. How are things working out with and M. orbicularis. Have you got the true Panicum spectabile ?(not Andropogon halepensis which was sent from Adelaide as Coapim)

Best wishes

Ferd. von Mueller
