The article argues for commercial cultivation of medicinal and culinary herbs in Western Australia. It notes liquorice can be grown, lists candidate plants such as Senegae Root Valerian Dandelion Root Chiretta Broom Opium Poppy Gentian Calumba Lavender Eucalyptus Pelargonium Orris Aconite Belladonna and Rhubarb and cites Mr. R.
