Bear Mr* Lankester: 
First in regard to the Stalls enclosed in your letter. 
I suspect tie one which you sent In your recent letter 
(August 25} is something else. Ion originally wrote of it 
thusly: "I have never sent the Stalls .erewith to 'ires, 
it is a very large sturdy plant with spathulate loaves much 
like those of gel id a. Leaves 5" x 2 1/2”, pale yellowish 
green, n&varro forest.” The leaves on the present plant do 
not fil nor do the bracts of the inf lorascaaoe agree. 
You will recall that the flowers of Stelis that you sent 
have the most peculiar senals. kach margin is rolls back and 
present a rather distinctive appearance. 1 enclose one flower 
from the inflorescence you have sent, hoping that it will help 
you to call it to mind. 
I am rather interested in your comment on t :e genua 
Brenesia, 1 would think with you that it is not distinct 
fro® Pleurothallis. is a matter of fact 1 have had a manuscript 
for several months with a note on it and had it changed to 
Pleurothallis. Tie name will be lateralis . 
I shall be glad to see the little lepantlioid leurothallia 
which is in your willow tree that blew down. 
I was very much chagrined in looking through my duplicates 
of U # S. commemorative stamps to find that 1 1 b d only da out fifty 
of them. This is not a very good showing considering the large 
number which ex-Postmaster General Farley inflicted on the 
country. 
The little Oncidium \?hich you collection in the enviorns of 
Sao Paulo is 0* Ldfgrenii Cogn. It is an interesting little 
fellow, isn't"”! t?
