Dear Dr* Smith, 
* 
I am sending yon flowers of a Vanda 
collected in Alor, in the Lesser Sunda Islands by a Mrs.Bouman 
and cultivated in Singapore by Mr. J. Laycock. 
It appears to he almost exactly intermediate 
between Vanda in 3 ignis and the form of Vanda l imbata which 
comes from the Lesser Sunda Islands, and Mr, Laycock thinks 
it a natural hybrid between, them. 
Colour notes are on the back of the label 
in the spirit tube. 
Dr. 
Mr. Laycock is very anxious to have 
/ 
Mrs. Bornean*s name associated with this Vanda if it is found 
to be sufficiently interesting to be described and given 
• 9 
a name. 
If you do find if of interest,I will 
ask Mr. Laycock for photographs and a specimen of the 
vegetative parts.

Yours sincerely,
