[The Secretary reported that … Thirty-five varieties of seeds were received from Baron von Mueller.]

The seeds included Polygonum sachaliense, which were 'committed to the care of Mr. M. Holtze, of the Botanic Gardens' ( Adelaide observer, 24 February 1894, p. 4). That Holtze received seeds from this batch is confirmed in a report of the meeting of the Bureau held on 4 June, in South Australian register, 5 June 1894, p. 3.
