% the interpretation of our flora I shall greatly appreciate. 
I thank yon for the series of Arisaaflaa material and hope that you 
will not stop until you have given an intelligent statement of the char- 
act er5and relations of this 
soealled Hynchospora from Denis. 
. I am still working on your 
not 
It certainly is A a real Hynchospora 
on account of the very numerous scales of the spikelet and the scales 
are exactly those of CygcrftS microdontus which Long and I found in a- 
hundance around ponds in Chatham, and which we have from other towns on 
the Cape. I am still studying the plant hut I can't help fearing that 
it may he an inter-generic hybrid, although such things are rare, with 
Cyperft8 rnic soA j ntus and Hynchospora riomcrata as parents. 
I have not thanked you for the package which came for the Club 
Herbarium some time ago. The plants from Ludlowjespecially interested 
me on account of the many coastal plain species. I have been led, con¬ 
sequently, to look at the detailed map of Ludlow and am pleased to note 
the large number of land-lotfaponds in that region which promise large 
returns when they are more fully explored. 
Hill you kindly thank your mother for me for her note which I 
greatly appreciate? 
Sincerely yours, 
Dictated to HMB
