MacDonald left a space for the date but did not include it. MS dated on the basis of when MacDonald indicated he collected the enclosed specimen.

Numbered in the margin as No 190.

MS appears to have been cut off; an unknown amount of text missing.

190 … 9.10.92 is written on a separate fragment of paper that presumably accompanied the specimen.

MS found with a specimen of Endiandra sieberi (MEL 80339), collected by MacDonald at Kempsey, 9 October 1892.
