Description

Burkill is sending Prain a copy of a work on Dioscorea for him to critique and review, beginning with D. bulbifera. He is treating some intermediate species as hybrids, something he wishes Prain to know now, so that he has time to consider the matter. The last year's collection at the museum has resolved a number of small issues, but Burkill is in want of material from southern India, where he has visited in order to borrow from [Charles Alfred] Barber's collection.
