Memo. from the CURATOR to

14th Sept: 1892

Dear Baron Mueller,

I sent you a Grevillea yesterday which I am unable to place under any of the species described in the Flora.

Bentham (1863-78), vol. 5.

I gathered it myself near Jervis Bay.

It is an erect shrub 4 or 5 feet high. I at first thought it must be a form of G. laurifolia in spite of its habit, but examination of the plant showed it to be different.

Yours truly,

J. H. Maiden.

I write Bäuerlen today.
