November, 
y* 
Dear Sir, 
I am very grateful for yotir letter of 17 November, and 
the loan of the specimens of Sluraeodendro n, C innamomum and 
Sumbaviopsis. 
These are being returned under separate cover. 
I am venturing to ask for two more favours. The first 
is for the loan of authentic specimens of Clethr a c anescens Reinw. 
Ridley records this from the Malay Peninsula, but I doubt his 
identification. 
The second is for an opinion on Buphorbiaceous plant 
no. 2 J 5761 f which is included in the parcel. I have not been able to 
discover wrhat genus it belongs to. Unfortunately, this one sheet 
is all the material I have and I enclose some rough sketches of 
the flowers and some notes on their structure.
