My dear Sir

I send you the Ipomoea referred to in a former note.1 It comes from the Bowen River,2 I cannot recognise it by any of the descriptions in "The Flora."3 The flower is white with pink centre and is made slightly one sided by the length and position of the sepals

Yours truly

Robt D Fitzgerald
