Occurrence remarks Phytologic Museum of Melbourne. Baron Ferd. von Mueller, PH. & M.D. [A letter from J. Chalmers attached to sheet:] Anon 17/5/82. Port Moresby, New Guinea 10/11/81. Dear Sir Fredrick, When in the Gulf lately at Orokolo I saw the enclosed for the first time, a cream coloured double hibiscus. I hope soon to send you another collection. I sent lately to W[?] St. George a number of dracaenæ & asked him to send you leaves as soon as opened[?]. I have not been travelling much inland this year, having been almost entirely on the coast but hope to carry out ones long thought of inland trip, try & cross next season. I am sorry I have sent you so few things this year. With kind regards, very truly yours, James Chalmers.
