…A letter from Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace was also read, acknowledging the Institute’s congratulations on the Order of Merit being conferred on him. Dr. Wallace wrote: "I beg to thank the Philosophical Institute of Canterbury for their kind congratulations. With regard to the sub-Antarctic Islands, should your Institute have any spare seeds of the fine herbaceous or shrubby flowering plants of those islands, a few of them would be very acceptable to me."
