Octr. 14th. 1905

Sir W. T. Thiselton-Dyer2

My dear Sir William

I send herewith a Bromeliaceous plant just received from Buenos Ayres, and as I cannot find anything that seems to correspond exactly in Mr. Baker's2 Monograph I shall be obliged for the name of it. Should it happen to be one that you have not got in the Gardens I shall be glad to send you a good living plant of it.

yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
