Dear Mr. Lankester: 
At Prof. Ames’ suggestion, I am asking if you can 
send to us fresh flowering material (in alcohol >r formalin) of Fregfca 
amabilis leichb.f. 
Vie are anxious to settle the question as to whether that genus 
is really distinct from Sobralia, so we need to examine fresh material. 
With best wishes, I am 
Very sincerely yours, 
Charles Sehweinfurth
