Dear Baron

As amongst my last new plants is a Bursera I hasten to forward to you a specimen. This is the first time that one of this genus has been met with in Australia and now the flowers are wanting but we obtain a glimpse of what they are like from fragments of them at the base of fruit — I have determined to name it B. australasica —

The Eugenia Johnsoni of you is the one noticed by me in the Report on Bot. of Bellenden Ker¹ page 42 under E. grandis

I send you examples as perfect as possible of Tetracera Cowleyana Bursera australasica Eugenia sordida E. macooraia² Homalium circumpinnatum Cryptocarya Lowiana³ Thespidium eumundi⁴ will also send more when I have the time to look them out — I shall in a short time be able to send you lithograms of nearly all the Queensland ferns.

Yours very truly

F. M. Bailey
