editorial addition.
Dear Baron
Accept my best thanks for the list of additional Queensland plants
2
Probably the item received by Bailey on 3 August 1893 (see 93-07-00e in this edition).
by far the greater portion of the plants have been already recorded by me for this colony in my various publications, the rest however come very opportune as I have a Bulletin being printed in which they can be incorporated. Each of these will have your initials attached for habitat and a foot note to explain.

Bailey (1893). The first entry, Plagianthus microphyllus, p. 71, has at the end of the description 'Hab.: Queensland, F. v. M*', with the associated note, 'When these initials are thus given, I am indebted to Baron Mueller for the information of its having been received by him from Queensland, but he has not given me the locality.'
Yours very truly
F. M. Bailey
