Dear Dr Ames: 
I' 
i 
< 
I wrote my letter and. made up your package this after: 
noon. The i\iew York mail arrived here at 7 2.M. and I received your ^ 
letter of Sep 27. After reading it over carefully and coxxSidering 4 . 
it with specimens A. B. C. D. B of Habenaria before me f I have aecitt- ^ 
aeterminaxion.--■—— 
eu to send on to you the specimens for your F & G- are in 
press drying and cannot be now sent, fiabenaria are not plentiful 
and these re^resexxt tne results of my mans hunt. You will find one 
here and another at some other location. He says never in colonies,(/~) 
You will observe that the flowers of A and C are similar but the 
plants and the inflorescence are different. B and D are also dif¬ 
ferent, as I take it^from A and C; and,they are also different from 
each other ixx plaxxt parts as well as m style of inflorescence. JS 
is again'different from all of the others r inhaving a three lobed 
voixxted lip aud lxxstyle of inflorescence. 
I have duplicate specimen of A_ and B f but noxxe of B, C, D. So I 
- - -——---~ others 
will have to rely oxx you to identify in some future time these^ior 
me, that I may make specimens for my herbarium, ho more Habenaria 
specimens will be sent to Dr Schlechter, unless you so uecide and. 
instruct me, none of these have been sent him. 1 will give them 
Dumbers in my herbarium after I have heard from you regarding them. 
At this time they will be known, as lettered. 
Very sincerely yours
