Honoured Sir

I take the liberty of forwarding herewith a couple of botanical specimens which I believe to be forms of Olearia stellulata and Pterostylis aphylla. Am I correct?

Thanking you in anticipation believe me to remain

yours faithfully

Wm V. Fitzgerald

P.s. Last week I made two attempts to reach the summit of Ben Lomond2 but failed through rain and fog
