Copied from packet sent by Mr Catt. Sequirres Exp St Costa Rica (Port Limon) with letter date, d Dec 23 1929 (M.83.1930 Jan 22nd) JHH 24 seeds received, 7 kept, remainder to Garden. Mr Holland, I have not been able to name these specimens. They consist of endosperm and embryo. The endosperm may be called cartilagenous and the embryos axial extendin, g about half the length of the endosperm and having a radicle and rather small cotyledon. Perhaps some one at the Herbarium can name the specimen. To Herb 29.i.30. LAB Not identified at Herbarium 30.i.30 | ||||
