Holway 1214. Bpiranthes nitida Cogn. 
The specimens of Cranichis Candida (Rodr.) Cogn. 
are a bit under-sized, but in this genus we usually find 
a tremendous variation in the vegetative development of 
the plants, 
Among the Salvador plants there are several very 
interesting extensions of range. This, of course, was 
to be expected. I Intend to work up this collection as 
promptly as I can. When the work ia done the list of 
determinations will be forwarded to you. The Guatemalan 
specimens do not promise anything new. 3ut one never 
c^n tell what close study will reveal. 
If not too much trouble will you forward the de¬ 
terminations of the .Brazilian species to Prof. Holway. 
fours faithfully.
