My dear Dr. Standley: 
The Baohtien orchids and your 
specimens from Guatemala and 21 Salvador arrived day 
before yesterday. I am unable to express to my satis¬ 
faction the thanks you deserve for olacing at my dis¬ 
posal such a wonderful accumulation of good things. I 
have taken it that the Guatemalan and Salvador numbers 
are an exchange and need not be returned. Your letter 
was a bit obseuro a3 to this. I certainly hope that 
my understanding is correct. 
The Brasilian and Guatemalan 
orchids that you wish immediate results from arrived 
yesterday afternoon. I beg to make the following re¬ 
port . 
GUATRMAL 
Solas 92. Brasaavola nodosa Lindl! 
Solas 55. Govenia utrioulata 4Sw.) Lindl. 
Only one good flower. I believe the determin¬ 
ation ia as close as possible. 
Rojas 73. Hal axis oalyoina (Lindl.) Ktmtse t 
3RAi.IL 
Holway 1194. Liparis elata Lindl. var. 
In fruit. But Surely the species named which 
is always characteristic and not easily con¬ 
fused with other things.
