Dear Baron

While collecting in the Eumundi

Qld.

scrub the other day I met with for the first time, a raceme of ripe fruit of your and find it will have to be placed in my Cyanocarpus. There will be no occasion however to alter the specific name. I point this out to you as in any publication where you may speak of the plant it will be well to mention it henceforth as .

No record of Bailey publishing this name has been found; he used Helecia glabriflora in Bailey (1899-1905), p. 1328.

Hoping your health continues good I am always yours very truly,

F. Manson Bailey
