Feb. 5th 1894

Dear Baron

I have sent per this mail a few fruiting spmens of & trust they will reach you in good condition. I have also sent a couple of grasses, one I take to be a form (alpine) of Diplax (Microlaena) Tasmanica. The other I have failed to identify. I found it growing in a deep gully near the top of Mt Dundas but notwithstanding this it might have been introduced. Trusting the plants will come to hand believe me to remain

Yours faithfully
