Orchids. Honduras, Bates, 1931. 
Field notes, for Mr. Oakes Ames 
56 . Lancetilla, near Tela, Honduras, Sept.3,1931. About 400 ft. 
elevation, near stream above Tela dam. Small orchids collected 
from tnunk and limbs of fallen tree. Tree had apparently been down 
some time and its original epiphytes had mostly died. The situation 
was rather sunny, which would seem to indicate that these orehids 
can stand more sun than the larger sorts, although they were mostly 
growing on the underside of branches, etc. 
Ale. & dried. (Photos No.1159,1160).
