12th August 1887

Baron Von Mueller K.C.M.G. F.R.S. etc.

 

Dear Baron

Enclosed please find two small specimens of a plant found growing on the edge of a well on Kallara Station Darling River. As the well-water contains soda and as I have not met the plant before I thought you might like some specimens. I found it growing in dense masses.

Trusting that it may be of some use to you,

I am Dear Baron

Yours Respectfully

Duncan Carson1
