rard has been working on grasses ofr 15 years, and has collected all 
'mown from Holland. ,f Th»»e are so mahy curious forms in Holland "he 
says, I recalled your remark that there are always remarkable plants 
where there is a keen "botanist. He had corresponded with %ckel he 
fore $ha war -and kept it up during the war. Before the end of the 
war he was ending Dutch cheese and chocolate. In the summer of 
1920 he and Sr f Qodine, of the Univ. here, went to southern France 
to study Hediterramean plants. Prof. a aekel invited him to come to 
Attersee. , The Hachels had told me of the delightful visit they had

they -3ere"the guests of their guest." Henrard said he took down a 
Kr*at chest of grasses and that Prof. , aokel went over them with him 
After two weeks there, hotanising in the mountains, he went to Vienne 
and then returned to the Hoekels for two days. The last day A rof 
fcaekel got out an old soap hox full of little packets of fragments 
of grasp.es, thinking Henrard might like to look them over, ffe was 
going to throw them away! There were a great many fragments of type; 
sent hy everybody-- v asey, "erihner, Munro, Stapf, Pilger , and lots 
of Hackel's own species, where he had returned the only specimen.
