IS. Why do you refer 'Craniehis monophylla Lind!. to Cyclopogon?' 
Ae I understand Craniehis monophylla it was made in Orch, Linden. 
The- presumable Jype in Jibe Lindley Herbarium ,at Few, as I re¬ 
member it, is not a Cyclopogon at all. I enclose a photograph of 
what I took to be the type when I studied this species. You do not 
give Cyclopogon monophyllue Lindl . in your Colombia or Venezuela 
lists, but in your SFTPAFTPTN1TAF' you give the habitat as CUPi. T arr 
a bit puzzled by this situation and I really want you to set me 
right. 
14. Psilochilus macrcphyllue is a native of Guatemala. Cogniaux cites 
it from there- and in my herbarium there is a Tuerckhedm specimen 
that T have- identified as Psilochilus wacrophyllus. What is your 
explanation of the omission of this species from your Central .Ameri¬ 
can List, 
ig, !I have been irforned that Vr. W. A. Powell of Falboa, Canal 
Zone, Panama, proposes to publish a list of new species from Panama 
with description!? by 'Sc blech ter and Fclfe! And that next spring* he 
proposes tc issue' a complete orchid flora of Panama! Can you give me s 
some light on this? T‘ am very much ln|erc8ted in this contemplated infs 
rc-ad of Powell into the realm of Crehidolog'y and perhaps you are in 
a position tc send me seme much desired news. Have you deterir-ined 
much material for Powell? Are there many new species? Fasten to inform 
me about Uis matter. With the facilities at his command what can Fow¬ 
ed! hope to do. He will make a mess of thing's and add still another 
source of perlexfty to the many that now make orchid work so diffi¬ 
cult. 
This letter has gone moll beyond the limits of your patience-,- T 
know,- tut I think you will find somewhere in it a few points well 
worth attention. J’ust now T air looking 1 forward eagerly for your next 
communication. 
T tjh]ihk I shall send you a draft, to-morrow tc put you in funds. 
Then you will be in a position tc know just hew far to gb with our 
joint purposes that call for ar expenditure of money. 
Yours with he.-si wishes,
