Description
Low has had some thoughts of endeavouring to get orchids from Cochin China [Vietnam]. However, he knows little of the country and whether or not orchids are abundant, and has not been able to meet with any books on the subject. He wonders if Hooker might be able to give him some information. He also wonders when the dry season there commences. Mr Boxall has brought home, from the Philippines, fruit of a Ficus in spirit, and the leaves, thinking they might be acceptable for the RBG Kew museum. If so they will be sent with pleasure. Pages 1 and 2 of 2.
