Hy dear Powell? 
Your 333 la certainly t2i<; loi ig lost 
Ple-ai-othallia fulgens of* heichtnibach. Ana I think your 
340 is the aarae thing. Your 33£ I am culling Epldeud- 
rusia glsmdwlosma sp« nov. slu It seesos to be ne*s and is 
cli>-i.racter iaed by having glandular ovaries ana. sparse 
glandular projections on the nerves of the sepals (outer 
surface), frhe plant 1 call Ro.li’ea Its a now species. At 
least 1 to? fo^ad nothing V ; 
data lahlbruciuier, & Trinidad species. It differs in 
si&e or; plant and flower*. She structure of the flower 
Is oci*irmly that of :o.lfe&, Per the present A|S J .1 the 
species R.PownXIii. Rolfea , until now., hoc been regard- 
@o as a aonotypic genus, so you have the honor of adding t 
the second species. Please turn up some more of 338 , 
lals is a queer species, I have seen nothing just like it. 
It is surely new to Central America. 
Shore is some doubt about the Reeirepia 344. It is 
allied to E» Powellii* But S** description does not agree 
with the flower sent with your 1 23 . Are you sure you 
sent me typical R.POWEELII? Until I hear from you I am 
putting aside your 344, «&&&&*«£ and regarding 1 23 as 
doubtful« Faithfully yours.
