Hobart.

13 July 1881

My dear Baron

Just a line to say that new localities are being found for One of them is much nearer Town than the place from which I sent you the specimens. The plants are some of them from 20 to 25 ft high, being at a greater altitude the plants are later in flowering; the buds are only now beginning to expand.

I have heard of another site, the Sandfly Rivulet

Tas.

where the plants are said to attain the height of 50 ft with a diameter of from 1 ft to 18 inch. I have not had time to visit this locality yet but as soon as I can I will send you all details.

Thanks for the bulbs received a few days ago. There was no name with them, what are they?

Very sincerely yours

F. Abbott
