Honoured Sir
Some time back I forwarded to you specimens of a Senecio but having heard nothing
of it I am of opinion it has miscarried. I am very anxious to it identified. Is it
anywhere in the vicinity of S. brachyglossus F.v.M.? The other plant is a specimen
of Spyridium from the Douglas River. Is it S. Gunnii. B.
I obtained it during my trip via Swan Port. Trusting the enclosed sp. will come to
hand recognisable. I remain your faithfully
