Forest Board Office,
Adelaide, 5/12/79
Dear Sir Ferdinand,
I have just returned from a minute examination of the tree from which Mr McEwin sent you specimens lately,1 and which you say is E. goniocalyx. I find that as you remark, it is the same species as the Wirrabara2 one to which I drew your attention last year and in Septr last.3
At Wirrabara the tree is found in patches here and there in the forest — sometimes in the hollows and at other times on the ridges. I have not observed it anywhere as yet but at Wirrabara and at Mr McEwins place in the Mt Lofty Ranges.4 I will forward you specimen of the Wirrabara one soon.
Yours very truly
J. E. Brown
Under two separate covers I have this [day] forwarded you small packets of
