tanical material thus secured to various insti- 

 tutions, authentically named with reference to 

 modern nomenclature, and at the same time 

 correlated, whenever possible, with Eumpf's 

 figures and descriptions. It is felt that this 

 particular piece of tasonomic research is one 

 of the very greatest importance and the ma- 

 terial we hope to secure should enable botan- 

 ists generally very definitely to interpret and 

 delimit many of the now doubtful species that 

 have been proposed by citation of Eumpf's 

 figures. 



It is hoped that in case we succeed in solv- 

 ing some of the tasonomic problems which 

 are dependent on a correct interpretation of 

 species based on Eumpf's work, that our suc- 

 cess may stimiilate some other botanist to do 

 for Eheede what we hope to do for Eumpf; 

 that is, to collect and distribute a set of plants 

 from the Malabar coast in India that shall 

 represent those species figured by Rheede tot 

 Draakenstein in his " Hortus Malabaricus," 

 I.-Xn., 1678-1703, a work of as great or 

 greater importance than that of Rumpf in 

 interpreting various Linntean and other sx>e- 

 cies. Elmer D. Merrill
