of both species and varieties. I would imagine that 
?.punctata Thunbg. ams- the acrophylls, and F.falcate Thunbjl* 
the b&tfcyphylXs of what I have called P.puncta ta, i e. the 
species with villou3 receptacles. It is just possible, 
however, that one or other of Thunb^rgs species are P.c s lltcarpa » 
$jL 
which has glabrous receptacles. Th& size of the receptacle 
varies much and is not specific. 
If you could compere my specimens with Thunberg's types 
eno tell me which you think is the best match, I should be 
most grateful. If you could send me prints of the types, I 
would be glad to pay for the expense. 
I have on ray conscience the photograph of the Chempedak 
which you asked. I have only just received a new patch of 
panchromatic plates from England, and I will get your 
photograph ap soon as possible. 
In the Hast of bohore, last week, I found an enormous 
wild tree, in the virgin forest, that combined the characters 
of both back-fruit and Cheiapedftk some extent. It had 
the fruits and seeds of the Chempedak, out the glabrous 
leaves of the Jack-fruit. However, 1 am certain that it 
must be regarded as a new, wild species from which both 
Jack-fruit and Chempedak have probably arisen in cultivation. 
The discovery is moot opportune. I shall send you specimens 
as soon gb I get it worked cut. 
Yours sincerely, 
Asst.Director of Gardens, S.3.
