July 2, 1?£3. 
By dear 2£r, Powells 
Your letter of June 21st, was opened at 
the laboratory during ray absenoe. When I west there last 
Saturday 1 found Mr, Sowelnfurth packing up a miscellane¬ 
ous assortment of bottles and containers which I am sure 
will silence your demands for a time. You may he sure that 
the alcoholic collection is too important to be held up by 
a lack of proper facilities. 
She flowers of Bpl&endrm IlunterianuxaC ?) 
in bottle recently received have been compared with the type 
in the ICew Set, Shey represent a different species with very 
much larger flowers# When you send a dried specimen I can re¬ 
port on this. It may be new, but of that I cannot be sure un¬ 
til I have complete specimens. 
tBhe box of bottles arrived safely in 
good condition, 
Sohed Or eh. 5 most have reached you 
by now. If not, $ust mention the fact and additional copies 
will be promptly forwarded, 
Braenclin has recently sent me photo¬ 
graphs of Badevailla Livingstonean i as represented in the 
Relchenbach Herbarium. I think there can be no doubt but that 
we have settled the identity of this species properly. 
Yours faithfully,
