JDH returns the New York Herbarium bundle of Impatiens to Otto Stapf. He says that there are 6 species, 1 of which is totally different from the ones in Elmer Merrill's collection. He has completed the diagnoses of the Phillipines species, 20 in total. It was a hard job & only 2 were previously known. The numbering has confused JDH as it is under different headings. There is a table to illustrate this. JDH still has to describe them in detail and then intercalate them with the other Malay examples. He says that all have pedicellate inflorescence & uniform stamens, apart from one. JDH says that Stapf and the Director should take some of the remaining copies of his paper from the ARCHIVES and the ICONES, should they wish. He says a lot of periodicals go with the New York Balsams. He is now to start work on the Indo-Chinese specimens and thanks Stapf for sending part of FLORA GENERALE DE INDO CHINE, and asks if he may keep it until he understands the plants a little more. He says that he will be able to manage with it written in French.
