Director, 
Dear Sir, 
My colleague Mr E.J.H.Corner, is revising the 
species of Ficus of the subgenus Synoecia. One 
species, F.punctata , reaches IndoChina, according 
to M.Gagnepain in "Flore ien.de L f Indo-Chine", and 
as this species is very variable in the Malayan 
region, Mr Corner would like to examine specimens 
from IndoChina. I would be most grateful if you 
could send on loan any herbarium material of this 
species which you may have. This loan will be duly 
acknowledged and a copy of Mr Corner 1 s paper sent 
to you when published. 
Director, 
Yours very truly
