Herewith, dear Dr Dyer, I beg to send you part of a short string of seeds of , which was part of a necklass, sent to me recently by Sir William Macgregor.

See quotation from W. MacGregor to M, 15 December 1895 (letter not found) in M to the Gardeners' Chronicle , August 1896 (in this edition as 96-08-00f).
