My dear Mr. Lankester: 
Many thanks for the orohidologioal feast you 
placed at my disposal. I left it with the feeling that you had served 
me with very slender portions. Out of nine specimens,two were of ex¬ 
ceptional interest and three proved to be novelties of vast impor¬ 
tance. ho you wonder that I felt a keen desire for more when I had 
completed my work. The new species are already in manuscript and will 
be published week after next at the latest. Here is a list of the 
material. 
361 Telipogon JCankesteri sp. nov. 
362 Hefersteinia lactea Rsiohb. f. most probably, but surely K. 
oostaricensis Schltr. 
363 Epidendrum physodes Eeichb. f. 
364 Epidendrum myodes Eeichb. f. 
365 Stolis lankasteri ap. nov. 
366 Habenaria ropens Mutt. 
367 Trigoniaium sp. probably new, but material insufficient. 
368 Ornithocephalus Lankeeteri sp. nov, 
369 Masdevallia erythrochaete Eeichb. f. 
362 matches Schlechter 1 a material of kafersteinia oostaricensis 
to a dot. But from drawings in my herbarium I believe it to be the 
true K. lactea described long ago by Eeichonbach. 
361 is a notable addition to the genus most closely allied to 
T. minutiflorus Kraenzl. but different from that species in many de¬ 
tails . 
365is the largest flowered species of Stelis from Central Amer¬ 
ica. flowers of this in spirit would be most welcome. Can you find
