I am sorry to find you are not in so good health as I, and many others equally indebted to you for your usual kindness, could wish. I hope you will soon get over it Dear Baron
I should not trespass further on you at present, but I am anxious to have you see the other Pterostylis if it is yet in bloom. I have asked my son to enclose some if possible in this note & forward to you — It is not the one with double pointed labellum but another somewhat resembling it, but more like Pt. nana, but nana is not yet above ground & this one is nearly if not out of blom3 —
I fear I have lost the one with double labellum as there was only one patch & I fail yet to see any coming up —
I have much pleasure in submitting myself
Your very obt Sevnt
J N McKibbin
Pterostylis nana
