BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 627 
dones; they are carefully numbered, and the sets put up 
separately, each in three parts, also numbered : there will be 
14 of these sets for sale, and another set is destined for your 
own Herbarium ; for though I am well aware that you already 
possess most of the species from me before, yet they had 
hitherto been differently numbered, and it is my hope that 
those Botanists who purchase the sets, may obtain the best 
information about them through some of your valuable pub- 
lications. 
Since I sent you the large box, of which you' acknowledge 
the receipt, I have forwarded another, containing about 200 
specimens, and I put into it also some seed-vessels of the 
highly curious Mesembryanthemum-like plant,* which you 
desired to see, and I anticipate its becoming a general favourite, 
when it shall bear ripe fruit in England. I was at the place 
where it grows last summer, but too late for the flowers, and 
the seeds were not mature. 
In addition to the 1000 species, I inclose 134 others plants 
from this neighbourhood for yourself, all numbered species, 
of which I have kept corresponding numbers, except No. 130, 
which is the only individual I have ever found of a most curious 
orchideous plant, apparently the only species of its genus. The 
lower lip is large in proportion to the flower, and covered 
with long purple hairs, the upper division of the perianth 
forms a hood, and the two side divisions are very short. 
No. 129 is a fine Caladenia, with a curiously fringed lower 
lip, nearly allied to a large species I had sent you before, if 
the latter also possesses a fringed lip; No. 129 is perhaps not 
distinct from it; I have never been able to find any more 
Specimens than those which I send you. 
No. 125 is the large Fungus,t which emits a light by night, 
as detailed in a former letter. No. 126 is a new Anigozan- 
thus, indigenous to the sandy country about 50 miles north of 
this place, and easily distinguishable from 4. flavida by its 
short sickle-shaped hairy leaves. I am not acquainted with
