w dear Mr, Powell: 
July 16 th, 1 ? 23 . 
I8 not your 304 a representative of Eplden- 
drum latllabre? I had the bottle that oontains the specimen in 
hand this forenoon and it seemed to me that the flowers sugges¬ 
ted that species pretty closely, 
I have not herad from you fox’ some time, so 
I suppose the Garden is keeping you pretty busy. 
Pont forget the pods of Selemipedlum c$loa. 
If these are used as a flavoring substance I want specimens for 
my economic collection, Shis is also trye, by the way, of Yan- 
illa pompona. Your assistant ought to be able to get pods of 
this that are in their economic condition* 2hls is important 
in connection with the economic uses of orchids. 
By this time the desired bottles and con¬ 
tainers must have reached you* 
I have very little to report as I have 
been taking a much needed rest much against my inclinations, 
I simply keep up with ssy correspondence, which is always bur¬ 
densome, and give determinations which are pressing, Shi® 
applies to you, of course * If there are any of your numbers 
in which you have a special interest, the determinations can 
be undertaken promptly. 
Yours faithfully.
