Melbourne, 10/6/76

Es ist meine Absicht, theuerer Freund, die Arten des genus (soweit es Australien angeht) einer neuen Untersuchung zu unterwerfen, zumal da sich in den letzten Jahren viel ergänzendes Material bei mir angehäuft hat, um die Grenzen der Arten besser festzustellen. Würden Sie die Güte haben, mir ein Exemplar Ihrer Schrift zuzusenden, in welcher Sie die mir freundlich zugeignete

zugeeignete?

Art abgebildet haben. Vermuthlich wird sich die Gelegenheit bieten, die mir erwiesene Ehre durch eine Zueignung im selbigen genus zu erwiedern.

Mit Ehrerbietung der Ihre,

Ferd. von Mueller

Für mehrfache vortreffliche Büchersendungen habe ich Ihnen und Ihren Freunden meinen besten Dank auszusprechen.

Melbourne, 10/6/76

It is my intention, dear friend, to subject the species of the genus (as far as it concerns Australia) to a new investigation,

No later treatment of by M has been found.

especially since in the last few years much additional material has accumulated at my place, so as to better establish the boundaries of the species. Would you have the goodness to send me a copy of your paper in which you figured the species kindly dedicated to me.

Described as E. muelleri in J. Lange (1861), p. 28, entry number 3; no illustration has been found ( http://botanicalillustrations.org/index.php , accessed 7 June 2020).

Presumably the opportunity will offer itself to reciprocate the honour shown me by a dedication in the same genus.

With respect your

Ferd. von Mueller

I have also to express my best thanks to you and your friends for the repeated excellent sending of books.
