Letter to M not found. The text given here is from a report of a meeting of the Mount Gambier Branch of the Agricultural Bureau of South Australia held on 20 March 1891, Border watch (Mt Gambier), 25 March 1891, p. 2. The item is dated to March 1891 on the assumption that the additional specimen sent to Molineux would have reached him in time for him to write to M before the end of the month. No report of an identification by M has been found.

[The Secretary said he sent a piece of the large thistle received from Mr. Pick to Mr, Molineux, Secretary of the Central Bureau, for identification. He was unable to name it, and asked for another piece to forward to Baron von Mueller, of Melbourne. That had also been sent.]
