Melbourne,

28 Sept. 1888.

To the Chevalier Lejardin,

Consul General for France &c &c

It affords me much pleasure, honored and dear Sir, to send you an other small quantity of the seeds of the best Central-Australian Salt-Bush, fresh collected; and I shall gladly continue to exert myself for obtaining further supplies, as these kinds of plants would likely become of pastural importance not only in the subsaline regions of North-Africa, but also for those of the South-West of France.

Let me remain,

dear Consul,

regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller.
