Dear Sir, 
We thank you for the memorandum D of G 426/40 and for the 
list of identifications. 
Specimen No.14 seems to be an indigenous species. It occurs 
frequently in all fields on our Experiment Station, Sungei buloh where 
natural covers are allowed to develop. We have noticed this species also 
on Kirby Estate near Seremban and on Lanchang Estate, lleniakab. During 
the last six years we were able to find only one plant flowering in June 
this year, but this plant produced no fruits. It is a scandent plant ana 
probably develop as a lianej „,-m docfnoi twine or posses;: special or ans 
for climbing. As soon as these species begin to flower again and produce 
fruits we will collect further specimens and forward them to you. 
Under separate cove^ we are forwarding to you two plant 
specimens marked A and B and shall be much obliged if you will kindly 
indentify them for us.
