Director of Gardens 
Dear Sir 
Re your letter of January 10th, and those by Mr, 
HENDERSON of November 29th and January 7th, the latter to 
Dr. VAN STEENIS. 
I take pleasure in informing you, that any specimens 
we have of the Bulbophylium-species , asked by you for Mr. 
CARR, will be forwarded to you as soon as they are ready for 
shipment. B. chrysocephalum, dianthum and sikapingense are 
lacking in our Herbarium. 
The specimens of Blumeodendron, Cinnamomum and Sumba- 
viopsis have come safely to hand. 
The authentic specimen of Clethra canescens RE’INW. is 
lacking in our Herbarium. Perhaps it may be at Leiden. However, 
a few specimens of this species from Celebes are being for¬ 
warded to you for comparison. I doubt if RIDLEY 1 s identifica¬ 
tion will be correct. 
As to the Euphorbiaceous plant, the habit agrees most 
with a species of Cleistanthus which, however, applies not to 
the construction of the flowers. Possibly Dr. SMITH (Oegstgeest) 
or GAGNEPAIN (Paris) may be able to discover the genus. 
Please, find enclosed the description of Pistachia wein- 
mannifolia . 
Perhaps it is of some use to you to compare your Pistachia 
with other species. So I send you also some material of this 
genus. 
As Dr. VAN STEENIS Is very interested in mountain-plants, 
I will be very grateful, if it will be possible for you to 
deposit in our Herbarium any duplicate specimens from the 
Korintji Peak you have to spare. 
Wishing you success in your trip, 
Sincerely yours.
