new specimens witk new numbers. By the way this reminds me to say 
here: The leaves of Bo 162 are of a yellowish green, end are the 
shape 
same plants f x B xm felnh as Ho 212, which has leaves of a blue-rgreen 
color. I found Ho 212 personally. Both of these are in the same 
containers as originally pi an ted, ansa:- have come up beautifully this 
year,and will flower again before a. great while passes. 
So you see that the mixup is all mine and not Dr Schlechter’s 
error. You will find that the specimen of Ho 162 s ent you to be 
all correct. 
Your letter with the determination of the mosses also arrived 
today, for which many thanks. I thought all of the specimens were 
lycopodiums and had so stated,and was called down by an ex Univ of 
Nebraska botanical man,living here, but who takes no longer 4ny 
interest in botany. He admitted one was, one doubtful, and two were 
not. 
I have another list from Dr Scklechter today. As'there is no 
hurry now about it, I will copy and send on in a short time. He has 
revised two or three of his previous determinations. 
I am sorry that you go away carrying witk you the idea of the 
mixup in the Habeaarias. 
Most sincerely yours
