Dear Ho It turn, 
I wrote to you on May 11th 
with regard to the seed of Loxo- 
carpus ? which Nauen sent me in 
June? 1938. 
We have managed to fertilise 
the flower and have produced a 
good seed pod? and from the 
examination of this? it seems 
clear that the plant should he 
referred to Didvmocarpus ? as 
Ridley accepts the genus in the 
Flora of the Malay Peninsula#, 
We think probably it should be 
placed in his last section 
Boeopsis ? but we can find no close 
affinity for it. 
I thought, in view of my 
letter of May 11th, you would 
like to have this further informa- 
n tion in case you may be able to 
throw some further light on this 
interesting plant.
