Dear Sir, 
I should be very grateful If you could 
let do have an authentic specimen of Richeviella 
gracilis (Merr.) Pax and K* Kaffm* (Baccaurea gracilis, 
Merr.) with flowers* 
This genus has oeen collected In the 
id a lay Peninsula, but I have no material of the 
Philippine species for comparison, and the two seem 
closely allied.
