Dear Dr. Henderson: 
Many thanks for your letter and the precious specimen of Micrechites 
tenuifolia Ridl* I am now convinced that our collections are quite 
remote from the true M» poly ant ha as interpreted by Dr. Merrill and 
innocently followed by me. The foliage and inflorescence in ours 
are more tender even than those of M. tenuifolia Ridl. 
Thanking you again for your kind cooperation, 
Yours sincerely 
Curator of the Herbarium
