17th October, 
Dear Dr. Smith, 
I am now sending you three specimens of orchid 
0 
flowers in dilute spirit. One is Taentophyl lum serrula Hort f , 
from the Gardens, as we understand this species. The other 
two are described on the attached sheet. 
As regards Saccolabium myosurus Ridley, Mr. Carr 
has already in preparation an illustrated account of it. He 
had found the plant and decided that it should oelong to a 
distinct genus before he saw your description of Abdominea . to 
vvhich genus it belongs: He thinks Ridley’s species is rather 
different from yours, though very similar. 
I expect Mr. Henderson back on Nov. 17th. 
Yours sincerely, 
J ho 
Director of Gardens,S.S. 
Dr, J. J, Smith, 
Dorpstraat 64, 
Oegstgeest, (Leiden) 
Holland.
