I Bent to Maxon, giving the details of my trip. 
I hope it will not be long until I can get the specimens 
off to you, I have a small collection of flowers of Stelis 
and Pleurothallis in alcohol, that 1 hope may be of some 
use to you. It is hard to find at one time enough of 
any one species of Pleurothallis to make alcoholic speci¬ 
mens, but some of the Stelis you can find in ample quantity. 
It is very seldom in Costa hica that you find a large 
quantity of an orchid at one time, perhaps excepting 
Epidendrnm rad jeans . 
With best regard
