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
Wm. V. Fitzgerald
