taking a determination. 
Alcoholic material of the flowers of Stella propinqua 
would be most welcome. This la the species that Rolfe deter¬ 
mined as S. leucopogon Reiehb.f. I have compared the flowers 
with Reichenbachf'a type, and find that it is traite different. 
I hope you bore in mind the fact that the type of Lockhartia 
Lankesteri was a much crumpled thing forwarded in a latter and 
that you cade a fair specimen for ae. 
I ara expecting great things from Standley( s trip to your 
country. He is an indefatigable worker and should bring to 
light a wealth of interesting species that have escaped notice. 
Bchleohter has written that his Co3ta Rican paper is done. 
He infurmed me that it would appear ofi September 30th. I wonder 
how the Germans find enough marks to pay the bills of printing? 
Please do as much as you can for me. You are surely in a 
region where orchids of extreme interest are to be had. If you 
neglect them, I am afraid that Schlechter’s numerous collectors 
will beat us badly. 
She preservative you used on Pleurothallis pepcronioides 
turns milky when added to water. What is its feature? 
Additional copies of Belied, Oreh. will be sent by letter 
post in future* 
Yours faithfully,
