Dear Symington, 
Very many thanks for your letter i* 1 F.JR.0.70/55* 
I have followed up the clues which you so kindly gave 
me and this is my result. 
* 
1. The peninsular specimens referred to Baccaurea 
V ^ 
malaya na and Bal**aspermum mala y anum are the same ar.d 
should be called as follows: 
Cheilose m al a yana (Hook.fi3) nov. comb. 
= Baliospermum malayanum Hook.fil (hasinym) 
= Scortechinia malayana Ridley 
* C* 16 ilosa homallifolla Merri11 
= 3accaurea ma1ayana (Jack) Hook.fil. quoad 
specimina cltata, non quoad "descriptio Jack". 
2. Baccaurea malayana (Jack) Hook. 
* Hedycarpus malayanus Jack excl.specimina 
peninsularia citata. 
We cannot take Ba ccaurea malayana as the basynim of 
Chei l osa malayana . 
*) • I have made a provisional draft of the situation 
in the enclosed manuscript, which you will probably be 
unable to read! 
V. I think Cheilosa has particular interest because 
it lilsks Heos cor tec hin ia with Baccaurea. The classification 
of Euphoroiaceae is in many respect highly artificial.
