My Dear Baron

Enclosed is a specimen in flower of the new Acacia2 It is now in full bloom. After a little time I will be sending some plant specimens which I gathered lately in the mallee new to me. One is a small species of Goodenia, another is I think a Claytonia another is either a Brachycome or Callotis3 with purple rays another is a tall Callotis about a foot high, and a fifth is a tall Composite with rayless flowers: They are hardly dry enough to be sent away yet.

Yours faithfully
