Grevillea1
I cannot identify this with any known Victorian species, but it may only be a variety of one from N. S. Wales. It seems to have hitherto escaped notice here. Have you more specimens to spare? Do you remember the color of the fresh flowers? Under what circumstances or conditions did it occur? How high is it in stature? To settle this specifically ripe fruit must later also be procured
Grevillea
See M to H. Williamson, October 1893 (in this edition as 93-10-00), which appears to predate the present item. M exhibited the new Grevillea at the meeting of the Field Naturalists' Club of Victoria on 13 November 1893. His description of it, as G. williamsoni, was published in B93.12.02, with 'fruit not yet obtained'. M continued to ask Williamson to search for fruit; see M to H. Williamson, November 1893 (in this edition as 93-11-00k); M to H Williamson, 14 May 1894; M to H. Williamson, 20 September 1894; and M to H. Williamson, 27 November 1894. Williamson found it to be exceedingly rare; see H. Williamson to M, 30 December 1893.
