My dear Mr, Standley: 
All of the Sesse and Mocino orchids 
have been identified. I found nothing new, although there 
are several very interesting things in the lot. This morning 
in working up Bpidendruta Vie Mi Reiehb. f,,identified as £. 
fosti.^latum . I found in my unpublished manual of the Genus 
Epidendrum in the United States.and Middle America, under 
'/i ..ill, in synonymy, E, fastlgiatum Ruiz i Pavon ex P.eichb. 
f, non Lindl, (Lindley has two species under this name in 
Fol, Grch,, neither of them referable to g, Viaill ), nd I 
am wondering about the coincidence! Is it possible that the 
Sesse specimen is in reality one of the Ruiz E Pavon things? 
I have a faint recollection of reading somewhere that there 
was some confusion in this regard. 
I understand that there are some 
additional specimens to come? Have you yet decided on the 
form of publication? 
In studying the Epidendrums I find 
many gaps In the collection in hand* That is, ail of the 
species described in Sesse & Eocino are not represented, 
with all good wishes.
