Brisbane

Oct 28th 1887

Dear Baron

I am just looking over a few plant specimen received from Mr F H Hann of Lawn Hill Burketown way

Qld.

and find two or three fragments of F v M so send you two of the best as probably you have not even as good.

The I gathered on Taylor's Range near Brisbane is it not F. v. M.?

and is the Solanum your S. carduiforme Fragm, 1 163?

Error for vol. 2, p. 163 (B61.05.02)?

In haste

your very truly

F M Bailey
