Dear Lily May: 
This morning, while going through the catalogue of my 1948 Cape 
York collection to find the name of a plant, I found loose between the 
pages the determinations of the monocots, made by Stan Blake in 1952. 
The list is enclosed herewith, and attached to it, a page of capsular 
Myrtaceae determined by Blake. 
I forgot to mention when writing to you a few days ago that I met 
Blake in New York two weeks ago and we spent some hours together. The 
capsular Myrtaceae are one of the groups on which he is currently at work, 
so perhaps my new Leptospermum from Cape York Peninsula will be described 
before long. It is a most striking small, contorted tree growing on rocks. 
I gave a picture of it in my published report on the expedition. 
Perhaps I should mention too, in connection with your interest in the 
Urticaceae, that in Lae recently I met Chew Wee Lek of Singapore. I found 
him looking through some sheets of Laportea one day and I understand that 
he is working on that genus and the family. 
With best regards, 
Yours sincerely 
Leonard J. Brass 
Enel.
