[We have received from Baron F. Von Mueller a sample of excellent-looking grass said to be suitable for public reserves. The name is very taking—that is what strikes as being highly important— " Panicum spectabile coapim grass"—that should be a mouthful in itself the worst of seasons.]1
Panicum spectabile
For other distribution of the grass at this time, see M to Bairnsdale advertiser and Tambo and Omeo chronicle, 16 March 1893, and notes thereto.
Letter not found. The text given here is from Kilmore free press, 23 March 1893, p. [3], col. c. The newspaper is a weekly, and the date given here is based on dates of similar communications to rural Victorian newspapers concerning the grass sent.
