Be so kind, dear Dr Hooker, to send for a small case of plants whenever you receive this note. It is taken to London under care of Capt. [B]. Tonkin, the excellent & obliging Commander of the Norfolk. It contains Mesembryanthemum aequilaterale var minus1 Scaevola suaveol2. Heleocharis sphacelata, Goodenia Macmillani, Stylidium sp., Correa aemula, Prostanthera spinosa, all I think new to European Gardens yet.3
