Dear Hr. Blake: 
Enclosed I send you a few determinations. 
Since July I have not heard from you. Have you comple¬ 
tely given up the Venezuelan plants? If not, please send 
mjr at your earliest opportunity a copy of the original 
description of Echites chlorantha Schlechtdl., I. cannot 
see on the named specimens we have here the difference 
with E. trifida , except that the leaves are more roundish. 
Hoping you are well and still hard at work 
I remain 
Yours sincerely
