22/9/82

The alpine plant, just received from you, dear Mr Buchanan,

John Buchanan (1819-1898).

is (R. Br.) in an luxurious state.

Could you let me have specimens of your new s?

Buchanan (1882a), pp. 348-9 and plate 22.

The extra-australian few species interest me much.

I enclose my card for Mr Travers with a few words thereon.

Card not found.

Perhaps you will kindly transmit it to him.

Regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller.

Is there any chance of the N.Z. Government bringing out a special edition of my "select plants for industrial culture" as was done 1881 in the Gov Printing Office of Sydney

B81.13.10.

& in 1880 in Calcutta

B80.13.07.

& this year (in Germany) at Cassel.

The German edition B83.13.06 is dated 1883 on the title page, although the notice of it in Botanische Jahrbcher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie, vol. 4 (1883), p. 499 reports it as published in 1882. No New Zealand edition was published.
