Dear Pete, Derek:
If there were enough interest I could run off some copies and just
sell them to get the copying and shipping costs back but that might be

Well, if you've a reasonably good library near to where you live why not ask
them to do an inter-library loan and get it photocopied? Or you could drop a
line to Singapore Herbarium and ask for a photocopy. Or Kew Library.
