North Easton, Mass. June 22, 1924. 
If/ hear Mr. Standi©ys 
The orchid with hanging raceme for which 
you wish a narse, is a species of Acineta and probably represents 
1. Ssrheri. This species has art cone from Costa Rica so far as ay 
records go, but it my well be a native. There are two species 
katown to be natives of Costa Rica which my be represented by your 
photograph, consequently, I should be avers© to using it without 
material to clarify it. 
The orchid to which you refer as the cosnonest 
representative of the family about San Jose and Cartage I cannot toll 
mah about, until I see rat©rial* Lankester has a mst exasperating 
way of av idiag the coKxm species mm though he my not know what 
they are* 
Tue story of Epideadrua Toduzii is rather in¬ 
volved. 1 believe 1 wrote about this is one of ay letters to Mr. 
Hfeasen a year or sore ago* if you want snore infcreation about it 1 
can dig it up for yen on ay next trip te Boston. 
Breaee Ms written a long letter about the 
orchids you brought ham with you* Those orchids arrived safely, but 
1 have mt had time to give them sacra iku: a casual exas&aatlon. 
As a waiter of fact, I tm buried with miorial* 
Tours truly,
