Transfer the Maxillaria, aitoa to tne regular specimen you 
now have, this will improve it. 
Schlechter determi^ea this ana ±ui both as Epid yrismato- 
caryum. I take exceytion. Eu 99'has not the wings to 
the column that Itti has, and the col of 99 is frecklea 
on toy with puryie dots. Thij looks more like it was 
a form gf Epics. brassavola. ^ 7 
I am sorry that I esnuxot send you more flowers. My plant 
is very small, eoixsistiug of two running stems, 
< 01 . 
1 am con»tantly examining the Habexxaria specimens A _ G 
and I must confess that I cannot make heads or tails of 
them. You know that I have not a flower of either of the 
old KEW set I no 162) and I am going entirely uyoxx my 
memory. 
By the way look at Kew specimen no 166 and you will find 
a white Habenaria which I found by the ro»d side oxx one 
of 'mSTTriys to Chiriqui. 1 have, no specimen of this either. 
The ylant died in shipying it down here. • . 
Very many thanks for the Reich.f. yhoto of H. yetaloiues & of v 
micrautha. * 
Theyhoto of Mrs Ames in her H bit tn beat tne German^has a
