My dear Baron

I will reserve your memi.2 for Mr Palmer. I am staying here for a few days, but I shall return to Richmond3 next week.

I find that Medicago maculata & a little plant of Asperula? are spreading in fields near Camden. The Prostanthera came from a gully here.

The fungus grows on dead logs. The netted gills are remarkable

I think Diuris elongata varies, as the plants here differ in colour & size from those near Richmond

Yours very sincerely

W. Woolls
