Sir,
You would greatly oblige me by letting me know to what order the enclosed plant belongs. Is it likely to die out, or is there any means of destroying it. It made its appearance on my farm about 6 years ago and has spread wonderfully since
Neither cattle or sheep will feed on it
By giving me all the information you can concerning it you will greatly oblige
I have the honor to be
Yours respectfully
Andrew Kelly
Baron Von Mueller
Gov Botanist
