On 26th November, 1901, there was unveiled a Memorial to him in the St. Kilda General Cemetery, Melbourne, by his Excellency the Earl of Hopetoun, Governor-General, and I made the following address on the occasion:—

To many of our citizens this beautiful monument will be a remembrance of Mueller, who did so much to diffuse a knowledge of its vegetation, but the botanist requires no such adventitious aid, for as long as there are plants in Australia, the name of Mueller will be remembered in connection with them.
