Honored Sir
I should feel much indebted if you would mention to me those indigenous grasses and pasture herbs particularly the perennial species on which horses cattle and sheep are feeding in your country with avidity , and which are not already well known as economic plants. They would then be inserted, with such remarks as you may offer under your honored name, in the 10th edition of my work on "Select plants" for industral culture and naturalisation

M planned to publish the tenth edition in 1897; see M to G. Schweinfurth, 25 June 1896. However, it was never published; M's final English-language edition was B95.08.04.
Regardfully yours
Ferd. von Mueller.
