Dear Dr Wallace,

I am sending a second supply of seeds from the same source — Huon District. South of Hobart. –

The sender hopes to be able to get me some seeds of the Climbing Epacris, that grows 20 feet or so up the trees & hangs in festoons: but all nature seeds are difficult for the mere accidental passerby to get — they ripen at different seeds times & are often very scarcely produced. Anderson (the Sender) sent me same remarks about the last lot which I meant to send you but the letter got lost.

Had no opportunity to get the Bot. names.2

A. J. O.3,4
