Last year you very kindly arranged for a shipment of foliage .tobe sent to 
m and as we ore requiring more me should be grateful if you would again be so 
kind and let us have the following t« 
(a) About three ewts of Club Moss (lycopodium Cernuum). 
(b) About five cwts of Bakau leaves (Rhikophora). We would like those to be 
approximately the same sise as the enclosed specimens. 
The 'pr served' epeciaens in envelope A, and those in envelope B, are from 
leavee received in the last oonei^mwit and we understand that both are Bakau leaves. 
There appears, however, to be a difference, and we prefer those in envelope A as 
they do not annear to be quite so brittle after being 'preserved', especially the 
min stwas. We shall be grateful if you will kindly tell us if these two sets 
are of different varieties or if they have bean picked at different sea sons , ana 
if they are not of different varieties, the r ason for the difference between them. 
Pour blank Certificates of Origin are also enclosed. Tou will rrawsiber that 
Customs hero have ruled that it is necessary for the certificates to bejdgped 
by the actual collector of the foliage and in the country of origin. In this 
connection please see our letters of 14th and 87th aroh, 193S. 
A duplicate of this letter is enclosed in case you wish to send it forward 
with your instructions. 
Yours faithfully 
R. H« Holthwa Esq., 
Director, Royal Botanic Cardens, 
Singapore, Straits Settlements.
