My dear Holttum,

The fruits of ttelicteres isora are sold in shops 
for medicinal use. A good name for them seems to be 
chabang pintal or **twi8tedjrf6 pointsS 
( 
In Wilkinson*s Dictionary and Watson*s name list we meet 
witji chabal tali for it. On the other hand 
Haniff and I got a Piper- as chabai tali, 
I suspect that ttelictcres is not chabal tali 
and that one error has been the cause of the application 
of this name to it; but whose error I do not know. Wilkinson 
got it from somewhere and at son copied Wilkinson; and we shall- 
all of As- go on copying it unless we disentangle ourselves. 
If you can, send to the baxaar wherever you like for 
chabang pintal ,and JIXJLH. chabai tali^ 
and see what you get. Kuala Kangsar supplied the Piper which 
carried the name of chabal tali, 15976 in your 
^erbarium; and ^enang may be fruitful. Chabai tali 
occurs in the Medical book of Malayan medicine. 
I notice that tali and pintal might refer alike to the 
twisted ends of the loculi of the fruit of ^elieteres. 
Watson is (?twice overjwron^ for he has altered chabang 
pintal into chabai pintal^ ttJ
