The Director of the Royal Garden Kew.3

Dear Sir

I thank you for sending me the names of the seeds from Tasmania.4 I have now just had a few more, and there is one of which I shall be very glad of the name, as it has leaves & capsules, as well as seeds, sent. Of these I send samples, & have no doubt you can name it at once. I also have another lot of the seed of Telopea truncata, 398-085 which is I [2] think a little fresher than the last I had of which I send you some. If that has not grown I shall be glad to send you a little more.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
