Description

Grant Duff sends a few more Nilgiri things and one or two things from the gardens there. He is very glad the seeds and tubers arrived safely. Lawson is well and Grant Duff hopes to see him this evening. He trusts that Thiselton-Dyer has enjoyed his trip. Grant Duff notes the names of three plants in his letter: Verbascum virgatum, Picris hieracioides, and Erigeron[?] alpinus. He asks to be remembered to Lady Reay. Folio 284 comprises an annotated list of seeds sent to RBG Kew in this collection. The list comprises 26 kinds of seeds including: Senecio candicans, Michelia nilagirica, Sophora glauca, Vernonia pectinata and Coccoloba tomentosa. Pages 1 and 3 of 6.
