Memorandum
From CONSERVATOR OF FORESTS, forest board office , adelaide. |
To Baron F. Von Mueller, K.C.M.G. Govt Botanist, Melbourne. |
My dear Baron,
May I trouble you to favor me with the names of the two Eucalypti, specimens of which I enclose:
No. 1. I found growing on sandy ridges in the South East; a low spreading tree with somewhat dense foliage; in patches along with the Stringybark.
No 2 — a large tree growing along with E. Rostrata in the swamps at Mt. McIntyre near Mt. Gambier.2 Has a rough and apparently persistent bark.
Please refer to the numbers when you write. Apologising for troubling you.
I am
My dear Baron
Yours very truly
J. E. Brown3
Eucalyptus Rostrata
