Dear Symington, 
Thanks for your kj in F.R.0.1^8/54, 
and your diary and photos, perused and returned 
herewith. 
Yes, Symplocos is more likely for 
28855, but ours are still in Java. I cannot match 
28818 under Microtropis. We have no material of 
Qreorhamnus serrulata . Where did yours come from, 
as Ridley gives only one collection of Kloss’s, 
which presumably is in Kew (and of which I have 
no photo, unfortunately). 
The photo of "dwarf scrub" adjoining 
• -T . J Sp - ,*« a w c > 
"open scrub" is very reminiscent of one part of 
G.Kajang, P.Tioman at C.52OO ft. where the dominants 
were large cold trees of Leptospermu m. A little 
higher up, however, this passed into dense spindly 
mossy forest amongst granite boulders. 
I came across the following numbers under 
Elaeocarpus Leptomischus , Rial. They are E.Griffithii 
Mast.:- c.P.17107, 15477. 14973, 149C9, 15667.
