My dear Baron,
I am greatly puzzled about the two enclosed plants sent to me for identification. They were brought from the Cloncurry1 by Mr Palmer. Will you kindly help me? One seems to belong to the Amaranths.
Owing to my domestic troubles, I have done nothing for you lately. I hope please God that some change for the better may occur before the end of the present quarter.2
Mr Hamilton has lately found Lindsaya Trichomanoides near Mudgee.3
Many thanks for the descriptions lately sent
Yours very sincerely
W. Woolls
The other leafless climber also comes from Queensland.
