I will examine my material again and if I can agree with your 
conclusions I will gladly join you in applying to it a new 
generic name. If your Zauxine elatior and Z; ar>entea are 
allied species I imagine they would go into the new genus also, 
I have seves^l bundles of specimens 
that have been set aside for you for a long time. I hope it 
will be possible to send these to you at a# early date and to 
receive in exchange for them some of the specimens you collected 
in Saw Guinea. I will open these bundles again and see just 
what they contain. You can well imagine how anxious I am to re¬ 
ceive new material. It is a long time since I have enjoyed the 
inspection of orchid duplicates from your hand. 
Just at present my sixth volume of 
Orchidaceae is going through the press. This is in large part 
devoted to a very notable collection of orchids from Mt* Kina¬ 
balu, British north Borneo, Over one hundred new species from 
the mountain make a very valuable addition to the orchids flora 
of Borneo. I will set aside duplicates of the species for you. 
I think these will be very acceptable. They ought to bring from 
you some good things from among your critically determined 
duplicates* 
Your proposed undertaking of an orchid 
monograph appeals to me, although I have doubts as to the 
completion of such an Undertaking. It would mean such close 
application and demand such an enormous amount of painstaking 
labor. Folia Orchidaoea would be the safest name to use for 
such a monograph as it would allow great elasticity and make 
possible a judicious selection of genera.
