| Notes: | Label source: Collected in August 1916 by the Venerable Archdeacon Haviland, on Kergunyah Station, 35 miles north-east of Cobar, New South Wales, Australia. Letter 6, 1917:xi p.99. Enclosure (copy) rec'd. at Kew Jan. 6.1917. Oakhurst, Chatswood, near Syd, ney N.S.W. 27th Sept. 1916. Dear David Prain, Under separate cover I7m forwarding you 1 dozen seeds of E. accuminata var. chrysocarpus thinking they may prove acceptable to the Museum of Economic Botany or Herbarium at Kew. The fruits and seeds were colle, cted in an hither to unrecorded locality and forwarded to me by the Rev. Archdeacon Haviland, The Rectory, Cobart, N.S.W. This tree has not as yet been found in any other State of the Australian Commonwealth. Since I discovered and named this remarkable a, nd very rare Australian tree there has been considerable interest taken in it by botanists and naturalists generally. When the fruit is fresh and quite ripe, it is a bright golden yellow colour, and the tree in full bearing is a strikingly beautiful sight, . The fruits are larger than the typical red Quandong and the edible pericarp is thicker and therefore of greater economic value. I am etc. Fred Turner. | ||||
