This specimen of your Trichomanes Vitiensis

Trichomanes vitiense?
dear Mr Baker, may interest you as coming from a new locality, the first in New South Wales.
3
No details of the location are available; no specimen from New South Wales could be found in the Kew Herbarium catalogue, http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/gotoSearchPage.do (viewed 6 December 2018).
Let me offer my felicitation to your well earned election into the R.S.

Baker was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London on 6 June 1878.
Your works proceed with an amazing rapidity, and yield a rich enveyable harvest always of novelties. But you enjoy opportunities, such as only at Kew are to be found, and which cannot reoccur in the next generation.
Always your
Ferd. von Mueller
