My dear Dr. Standiey: 
October 17th$i 1924. 
I an back on the job after a most un¬ 
productive summer and a very trying autumn. To-day I an giv¬ 
ing my attention to your Costa Rican orchids. I shall have 
some news for you in a few days. 
Bro. Ariemin ; ; 73. Nicaragua, sent for 
determination is a sterile Pleurothallis allied to if not 
identical with P. nicaraguensis Reichb, f. It also has some 
resemblance to P. lyroglossa Schltr. 
Schlechter’s paper on Central American 
orchids appeared as follows: Beihefte z. Bot. Centralbl. 
Band XXXVI Abteil’g II (1918). 
Costa Rican paper: Fedde Repert, Sp. 
nov, Beihefte, Band XIX. This according to a census on the 
inside, of my mailing^results as follows: Gen. nov. 7; sp. 
nov. 249; var. nov. 5; comb. nov. 14. 
If you do not find these works I can give 
you any information you desire. In the meantime I shall take 
for granted that you will be able to find the works in question. 
Schlechter’s census in the Cent. Am. flora 
is way out of date. If you wish to have a rough estimate made on 
the basis of new work, let me know tliat you do, and I shall dig 
out what 1 am able to. 
Yours faithfully,
