Description
MacOwan thanks Hooker for Mr. Baker’s note about the Monocotyledons and sends a parcel of plants including a Senecio pandurifolius and a Kafirland Erica from Baziya, Transkei. He mentions a Cyrtanthus collected by William Tuck, who oversees municipal lands in MacOwan’s area and has set aside an acre of government land to grow trees for planting the villiage approaches. MacOwan asks for Eucalyptus seeds, not E. globulus, and any other suitable tree seeds for this project. MacOwan will soon send some bulbs of Drimia elata and D. cooperi and a Stapelia collected by Tuck at the Diamond field and he encloses some lichens for Dr. Stirton. Pages 1 and 3 of 3.
