Such rashness hein, overcome* I thought I would ask 
for your assistance. There are specimens of Loureiro's 
in the B.V. to oe examined and also numerous references 
to wnieh we have no access in Singapore* One type- 
specimen ^ that of A*integrifol in) is probably in Uppsala, 
and I am writing there to enquire about it. 
I am afraid it is rather presumptuous of me to ask 
anyone to undertake this enquiry, because it rill demand 
much tine and patience, and, so far as .European -do tuny 
goes, it has no interest. But if you aould persuade 
someone to go into the matter at his earliest convenience 
1 would ue exceedingly grateful. 
In writing the attached notes, I have stated what 
appears to oe the course of investigation, but as so 
much aepends on the status of Thunoerg’s genera 
(Rademochia and allodium) which 1 have no means of 
O; 
N-. 
iscertsining, my plan of campaign may be illusory* In 
all such protoelms, one must consult a fresh the originals 
and not rely upon second hand opinions and statements. 
The chief concerns arc that the botanical name used 
most often for the Jack-fins it y A. i n te grit* o 1 i a ) as 
evidently tused originally on the Chompedah: that the 
new combination A. int-egra Tkunb.) Merril l appears to 
be ooth invalid end :-&l ©determined • and that we shall 
have to rake up a forgotten name for the Jack-fruit 
ano conserve A*champede r for the Chempedak. 
I am sending specimens of J'ack-fruit and Chempedak 
for comparison, because I think the two species are 
confused in herbaria, at least she Indian specimens 
which seem all to have boon referred to A,intei .rifolia . 
However the species differ in flower and fruit and seed 
as well as hairs.
