Dear Sir, 
With reference to telephone conversation we beg to send you 
herewith by messenger one crate containing leaves and fruits of a tree, 
which in Siam is called w Yang Sean*. 
The samples were collected on 12th April from two different 
trees in the Changwad Surashtra Dhani (Southern Siam) on dry, not 
inundated ground, between 8° and 9° latitude. Altitude about 230 - 
260 feet. 
We ask you to be kind enough to inform us of the Scientific 
Name and also, if possible, if the species in question is growing in 
the F.M.S., Burma and the Philippine Islands. 
If possible, we should ll<ce to send one of the samples back 
to Siam. 
Thanking you for your kindness.
