Description
Nicholls believes Morris will think his long silence strange, but he has been very busy and has had to put botanical affairs to one side. He notes he has a good series of Pimenta and some new facts concerning them. By this mail he sends a Wardian case to the Director and lists the contents which include: Pereskia aculeata, Podocarpus salicifolius, Anona, several species of Pimenta, Chaetogastra chironioides, Costus spiralis, Begonias, and Bamboo grasses. Nicholls provides general explanatory notes alongside the list of names. With this letter he encloses some seeds of an indigenous rubber tree, which he thinks he showed to Morris. Nicholls thought it was a Tabernaemontana and Morris thought it was a Echites; it may be something new. Annotated. Page 1 of 2.
