early collections, a small -leaved species, near C. tomentosum I have it only in fruit , so that I cannot settle its position in the system until I have flowers. The genus has many south-asiatic species, of which those of nearest affinity must be compared in a study of this small-leaved one. I have received nothing from you for a long time. If you would only send even some few select specimens occasionally by post, it would give me great pleasure in my advanced age, when I cannot perhaps much longer experience such joys.
