Dear Sir
The Director requests me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 21st with specimens of two interesting plants from Uganda.
The blue flowering plant is Pycnostachys Dawei, N.E. Brown, and was described in the Gardeners’ Chronicle, 1907, XLI, p[age] 18, from a plant raised at Kew from seed sent by Mr. Dawe of the Botanic and Forestry Dep[artmen]t Uganda.
The plant is not now in cultivation at Kew and we should much like to have some seeds.
A figure is being prepared from your specimen for the Botanical Magazine. [2]2
The Grass is Tricholaena nosea, Necs (sens. lat.) : — and we should be very grateful if you could send us another panicle in a more advanced condition. A few seeds would be acceptable also.
I am | Yours very truly | Arthur W. Hill [signature] | Ass[istan]t Director
