genus in his enumeration of your collection and I do not find it in 
your manuscript list ox the species Schleohtor determined for you. 
I only have this species from Guatemala and tho West Indies. It has 
been reported, of course, from Costa Rica. I do not find it in the 
Kew Set of your specimens and you have not sent it for Herb. Powell. 
Please explain this specimen and if possible make herbarium specimens 
for me when the plants bloom again. You can recognize this species 
by the peculiar spur like lateral sepals that hang down beneath the

I had already detected the mixture of njrrabers in the Stelis 
species. I wrote to you about this yesterday and gave you my deter¬ 
minations and views. 
The specimens listed in your letter of the 23d have not yet come 
in, but I expect them any day. These, you may be stre, will be most 
welcome. 
The ilpidendrum with fleshy flowers sent in mailing tuoe appears 
to oe new to Central America. When the specimen for tho heroarium 
arrives I will study it and publish the name in Sched. Orch. 5. There 
may be some other new species among tho uruam&ed material. These will 
also receive attention. 
xfe.il ing—tubes, bottles and Manila covers will b© forwarded to¬ 
morrow. 
I think it may be well to illustrate tho new Upidendrum. We can 
make an interesting IQUttS plate in a few days. 
Keep on tho look-out for Stelis flowers. Have little bottles 
ready for these fellows. And acquaint the Indian with the germs. 
iiverything is running smoothly. It is up to you to prevent me 
from taking a vacation this summer. 
With the bes$ of good wishes.
