“ Dear Mr. Bouton, 
“ Very many tlianks for the Calvaria Major which 
you identify with Sideroxylon Boutonianum , but Mr Baker 
who lias examined it carefully pronounces it to be S. 
ejrandijionun , Doth from description and from our speci- 
mens in the Mauritian Herbarium. 
Ci I have forwarded the copy of Medicinal Plants to 
its destination, as you request. 
“ The seeds of Carica candamarcensis 11. which you 
ask for were all unfertile, i hope this year will lie better 
as the plant has been carefully impregnated, and I will, 
if so, send vou some. 
“ Mr. Baker is printing the Mauritian Flora ,

“ J. 3.). Hooker.
