Qld.

June 25th 84

Dear Sir

I will be unable to continue sending parcels of specimens for some time, as I am away from home at present. I shall return in August then I hope to continue collecting for you. Many thanks for the book & papers you sent, which are at home awaiting my return.

I cant quite see how you can call the tree with the spiral flower a climber, For it is a tall straight stemmed tree growing very like a palm & about the same height as other trees in the scrub. I enclose you a good specimen of its flowers You dont mention the highly scented wood I sent last time I should so like to know something about it. Is it used for any thing in particular?

See E. Bauer to M, 25 April 1884.

Sincerely yours

E Bauer
