NORTH EASTON, MASS. 
September £3, 1933. 
My dear Ur. Edwards: 
Your letter of Sept, first with three enclosures, 
(descriptions of nos, 5£1; 522 and 528) came in a, day or two agoiji and 
now the specimens are here, a splendid lot containing several very 
interesting and welcome speeies. Ho. 522 was not among them, however, 
and I fancy you are holding that for another post. Everything seems 
to be accounted for except 522 and 509, Your 475, by the way, was 
most acceptable. This is the rather*:raBe Cataset: m Russellianum . It 
is new to Honduras and I had only sketches of the speeies in my her¬ 
barium! Ho, 460, Oneidium leueoehilum , is also an addition to the 
flora of Honduras. No'. 4§8, Ileurothalli s Johnsonii Ames and 465, P, 
Bfefetmta A mes are also additions to the flora of Honduras. No. 505 in 
the last shipment is undoubtedly Liparis elata . Although this genus 
and speeies have been reported from Honduras, I have no material of 
this Liparis in my herbarium, from Honduras. 
The Stanhope as and Catasetmrnstmre fine. Unfortunate! 
there are no alcoholic specimes of the male Catasetums, on IV the female, 
I hope you have material in alcohol to send later. No. 518 is wonder¬ 
ful material of Stanhopes, eeorauta.No. 528 is, I believe. Stanhope a 
cymbiformis Keiehb. f. The specimens and your detailed description 
match Reiehenbaeh'a almost to a dot. No. 521 is most certainly 
§• o eulata . 519 is a female Cyenoches, 527 and 526 are males. I think 
all of_ these are the same and represent what has passed for C:/enoeshes 
ilagd u liferum . They are the same as your oth rCycnoch.es, The Catasetums 
are all referable to C. in tegerrimum . You have passed understanding!^/ 
on 497. This number represents both sexes. I am delighted to have 
confirmation of my suspicion that you have found only a single speeies 
as yet of this particular section. Now I can have the thing tfrawiTand 
feel sure that my identification of the female rests on substantial 
evidence. 
A check.for six undred dollars was sent to you on 
September ll.jnis went by air-ms.il and I suppose 3 ?- ou have received it, 
I propose to send the next cheek on November first. If you need funds 
before that let me know and I will send what you need. 
2 pleased to know that you are now in a region 
that seems to be more favorable than the one in which you have been 
working for so long. Please boost production^and by all means keep a 
sharp eye out for Stanhopea, Catasetum and Cycnoehes. 
Th® alcohol speei ens eame through without the 
breaking ol a bottle. It is certainly a delight towork with this mat¬ 
erial. it quite spoils me for dried specimens. 
notified to do otherwise I shall continue to 
address letters to Comay agua. 
Sincerely yours.
