Dear Sir, 
I thank you for letter dated 3rd# Inst# - - is is most interesting# 
X* My No# 13/8 (variety un-named of D# Metaciiilinum) — 4 plants in 
all -- were found on an old Durian tree, surrounded by rubber trees, aoous 
20 ft# up tree, late ip. ±930, but nob together or touoning, occupying three 
separated crothhes of tree# Two planus Dloomed April & July 1931. 
2. My No. 110/30, now identified oy you as ! D# lanatum* was found 
middle of 1930, on an old rubber tree (about 15 yrs. old), in a crotch some 
25 ft# up tree. Bloomed Nov. *30 & June »3X. I have two plants of it. 
3. My No# 15/58 a Dendrobium resembling * acerosum* but ranch taller 
and oigger in both stem and le£f. Remarks noted* I will send specimen stems 
with bloom as soon as same appears# 
Found on tall semi-dead hardwood tree on roadside at I6g mile 
Jonore B. - Pontian Road (together with a mass of Coelogynes like ’testacea') 
4# I would also a&ain rei'er you to min© dated Il/8, my No# 66/13 
an ^RIA* with saftsage-oulo and '■ y 1 ros (specimen sens you). 
Undoubtedly a *bractescens*, out oloom di.ti.ers widely irom Ridley 
except in colouration. May likely also turn out to be an at-present un¬ 
named species. When next in bloom, will send you living plans wi*n uloom 
for uefinite identification# 
5. As requested, when in bloom and thus definitely specimens you want, 
X will send you (or arrange that you get) living planes# as sard, 1 chink,I 
have 4 of them, but know that I nave two with certainty# 01 piano para, b 
I have I think two only, one of which, when ascertained, will ue sent you. 
6# Beyond these, I have several, especially a number or Coelogynes 
and of Saccolaoiums (and others) at present unidentified* 
* 
7* in all I have found approx# 60/65 plants, in ' ! y- 
locals; either on my rubber trees or on secondary growths within Estate. 
This Estate has some 1600 acs# at foot of G-unong Pulai, running 
(on main road) from a^out I7th. mile to I9th. Estate is some 30 yrs. old* 
8# When named oy Mr. Carr, I shall be glad to see his oeciinical descrip¬ 
tion of my No# 13/8 together with name given it. Finally would say snau unis 
locality must be rich with specimens of epiphytes within easy^ reach; I nave 
merely *scratched the grounds* for specimens, having little time for hobby. 
Yours very truly
