Perhaps, by comparison of specimens, you could 
say if you think that C.malayana should be reduced to 
C*mo ntana. 
I can find no difference in the structure of the 
male flowers, except that C.montan a has a pistillode 
.5 mm long and in C.malay ana it is 1 .Jj mir, long. 
The differences rather trivial. 
4 . I am writing to Manila for specimens of C.homallifolia . 
5 . I am sending youa duplicate of what I take to be 
^ acaranga d lepehhorstii . We have only one stente specimen 
from Sumatra, named by Smith. I would be grateful if you 
would check or correct the determination. 
Yours sincerely
