Baron Von Mueller,
Dear Sir
The enclosed plant I found growing in a wheat paddock near Bulla1 the other day. It appears to have taken complete possession of the field, but although it has been there for years it has not spread to the adjoining grass lands. I am told it has a small blue flower.
Could you kindly tell me its name, and whether it is poisonous to stock.
Yours faithfully
Chas. Scott.
