Dear Sir

The enclosed sample of plant has been sent to me from Yarram, Gippsland district,1 where it has quite taken possession of some of the grass paddocks I shall feel obliged by your informing me as to its common name, whether it is a noxious weed, and the best means of suppressing it

Yours faithfully
