My dear Sir
I am indebted to my friend W. Nock3of the Peradineya Gardens for obtaining for me some seeds of Osbeckia rubicunda from a high altitude. —
I enclose these in a small packet. I trust they will reach you safely & germinate well, as the seed is quite quite fresh. —
[2] The plants are small & in this country produces rather handsome flowers. — It will be curious to see if the change of habitat to Broadstone produces any very marked change. —
I remain | Yours very truly | Frederick Lewis [signature]
