Baron F. Von Mueller

Sir

Knowing that you are taking an interest in the at present, I send you specimens of 2. species which are new to New Zealand. The largest I make out to be of Australia, not previously found in New Zealand. The small one I am afraid to name and send it to you.

I will try myself and get more specimens of at Christmas time.

See M to J. Buchanan, 26 August 1882.

Yours respectfully

John Buchanan
