Herewith, dear Miss Henley, the sketch of the rare water-weed.

Sketch not found.

The grass with two spikes only, which I cannot recognize as known from Australia, is a Cynodon, allied to C. convergens, discovered by me 1856 in Arnhem's Land.

NT, during the North Australian Exploring Expedition, 1855-6.

Regardfully your
