[" Spakie."—Baron Von Mueller has kindly furnished the names of your specimens:—1 Thelymitra antennifera. 2. Stackhousia, perhaps S. Huegelii (no fruit sent). 3. Boronia fenula.1 4 Pimelia angustifolia.2 5. Diuris (no leaves). 6. Helichrysum obtusifolium. 7. Dillwynia sp. The specimens are all imperfect. In sending native plants for naming, it is desirable that the locality in which they were gathered be stated, as closely allied but distinct species are of many genera in the different colonies. If this were done much time in fixing the names would be saved.]
