The enclosed fruits of Antidesma, dear Dr Dyer, may prove acceptable to the economic-section of the Kew-Museum, especially so, as very few euphorbiaceous plants can be turned as regards their fruits to any nutriment.2 Perhaps you might like to raise the plant also for the Conservatory, it being of some particular interest The species name will be supplied, so soon as flowering samples can be obtained.
With best regards your
Ferd. von Mueller.
Antidesma
