3* Re ref* B. Artocarpus communis J*R. & G.Forst. was published as a 
binomial* 
4* Re ref* C. Sitodium is a nomen illegitimun since Radermachia and 
Artocarpus are quoted in synoncmy* S* macro carp on is validly published but 
is illegitimate* R* integra is cited as a synoi^m* 
5. Re ref* D. Radermachia is validly published in the ref. cited. The 
same applies to R. indsa and R» integra * Thunberg's work is dated 1776, Linnaeus 
fil. is dated 1881. For further query here see answer to question 4. 
7. Artocarpus jaca Lam* is a nomen illegitimun * Artocarpus integrifolius and 
Radermachia integra being cited as synonyms. 
8. Merrill seems to be in error in stating that the type specimen of Poly- 
phema Champeden Lour* is in the B*M* I cannot trace it nor i 3 it ticked off 
in the Flor. Cochin* as being here. In his description Loureiro %tes that this 
speeies differs from P* Jaca "foliis oblongis, integerrimis, pilosis, rugosis, 
sparsis. Aft habitat he gives "in altis sylvis Cochinchinae. 
9. The type specimen of Polyphema Jaca is in the Herbarium here. It is the 
Jack-fruit and the specimen was k cultivated in Cochin China. 
This covers the points raised in your letter and I enclose the descriptions 
you requested to have. 
Yours sincerely,
