■My 4ear !£r. Powell: 
September 13th, 1323. 
Your no, 327 (bottle specimen) has come 
safely to its destination. It is the same as Powell ?66 (jj ( 
of a eerie* of specimens sent some months ago). It ia also 
the same as Killxp 3190, which I originally determined as I-Iab- 
Bin&l, Structurally I have found nothing that 
separates the Panama species (including H. Warsczwiezii) from 
the Brazil dan opwilewtosarlM by Bindley as llahenaria natal- 
odao.fhe only differences are found in size of the flowers, and 
-La I am not mistaken, every gradation exists between the large 
flowers of typical J|# and A H. KflJBoev/iozl.i- if we dis¬ 
regard common sense, I am afraid that the orchids will become 
an impossible grup both for the specialist and the amateur, 
nothing is gained by stressing trivial characters. Once an 
attempt is made to erect new species on scanty material and 
sloght deviations from a recognized type, chaos, not order, is 
the unavoidable result. 
.mlifias is for 319 , What a de¬ 
lightful little species it is. It is a near, but very distinct 
ally of Relclib, f. It has an entirely differ* 
ezrc labellua* ulien I wrote to you my last letter I was not 
rune that this name had not been used, I fine that it is all 
right. 
Yours faithfully, 
Khat is the normal number of flowers for E. pudiom? Onljr two ?
