| 71 | Cassinia laevis, R.Br. |
| 72 | Aster, of the section Olearia, but I am not sure about the species. When the season advances, I like to have specimens with well ripened fruits. Should it prove new, I will name it after you. Under what circumstances does it occur? |
| 73 | Eclipta platyglossa, FvM. Are the ligules yellow when fresh? |
| 74 | Choretrum glomeratum RBr, if the tiny flowers are white |
| 75 | Sida virgata, Hooker so far as can be judged without fruit |
| 76 | Myoporum deserti, Cunn. |
| 77 | Kochia villosa, Lindley |

List in M's hand. None of the specimens bearing these numbers at MEL are dated; all are from Wirrabara Forest (AVH, accessed 19 February 2022). M's determination lists broadly follow the sequence of Gill's numbers. The numbers in this list follow those dealt with in M to W. Gill, 1 February 1890 (highest number 70) and precede M to W. Gill, 18 June 1890 (in this edition as 90-06-18b), which identifies an additional specimen of number 72 as Aster decurrens, as well as numbers 78-80. Given that M asked for mature fruit specimens of number 72 'when the season advances', the list was probably sent early in the year. It is dated to February as the earliest likely date it would have been sent. This is consistent with its flowering 'throughout the year' (Black (1943-57), p. 871 under Olearia decurrens).
