Dear Henderson. 
I gather from the Hon. Sec. M.B.R.A.S, that 
my proposed paper on Tapis is the sort of thing they would 
like but of course they have to see it before agreeing to 
publish it. 
2. I can find no previous collections from 
Tapis,and Burkill (Gdns .Bull .4: 168(1927)) does not mention 
any. However I see that a collection by Burn-Murdoch from 
,r Bukit Tapis' 1 is recorded under Cryptocoryne cordata Griff, 
by Furtado (Gdns. Bull.8: 146). I wonder if you have any 
information concerning Burn-Murdoch's visit ? I have 
found no record of it here. 
3. I am returning the remainder of your Tapis 
sheet^. I suspect that the following are new species 
28908 = Ficus sp.n. 
28838 
28833 
28818 
Pasania (Cyclobalanus) sp.n. 
Symplocos sp.n. 
Microtropis sp.n. 
You kindly offered to send the Symplocos to van Steenis
