Description
Christie is sending a case of five sorts of Cacti from his province, also a couple of young shoots of the Ombu tree [Phytolacca dioica] and an aloe plant. He sends a few seeds to Mrs Christie who lives in Sunbury, not far from RBG Kew. There is a large fruit which Christie fears Hooker will already have. He encloses a few thorns of some of the cacti, which make very good toothpicks. If Hooker should like any more specimens of any plants, he should say. Page 1 of 3.
