species which I intend to include in Part II. If you could tell me, by the return mail, where you found the two species, their altitude etc. I think and hope that I might receive your letter in time to have your note printed for part II of the
Monograph. I have got complete drawings ready, and a photograph and descriptions. M. guttulata was first described by Reichenbach in Linnaea XLI (1977) p. 118. No locality given, except "Ecuador"? No name of discoverer. Of course it is of the same section as M. ephippium etc. In the Gardeners' Chronicle Sept. 6th 1890, p. 267 to my great amusement, Mr Rolfe described M. guttulata as a new species! having quite overlooked the fact that Professor Reichenbach described it in 1877. No locality or discoverer is given in the latter reference. M. picturata was first described by Reichenbach in Otia Bot. Hamb. 16. Collected by Wagener, Fendler and Arnold. Locality, Venezuela? Flowered first with Mr. F. Sander, 1882. There seems to have been a recent importation of this species, for I have lately heard of more than one instance of its flowering this year, apparently for the first time since 1882. I should be glad if you would be kind enough to tell me your experience with these two species, for so little is known about them that it would be most useful and interesting. I shall soon have completed the lithographing for Part II and I shall then go to London to collect information for the text, which your notes, so anxiously expected by me, will complete for printing.

134:"It is no doubt advantageous in botanical work … that the person who makes the original drawing from nature should also lithograph the plates and indicate the colours to be used by the colorist, for, by this means, the work passes through fewer hands and is more likely to turn out accurate. I have therefore pursued this method throughout the present work, and have, besides, touched up the colouring of every plate sent out, numbering nearly 9,000"

Originally 250 copies were planned, but it appears that only 150 were actually issued, with 100 being bound. In the introduction Woolward writes of her involvement in the book's preparation:

After having problems in finding a professional botanist to write the text accompanying each plate, Woolward decided to write it herself and the work appeared in nine parts between 1891 and 1896, each part with ten plates and text, the final part having only seven plates. The parts were priced at £1

Bound volumes of
Woolward's paintings of orchids and fungi remain with the heirs of the Marquess. Her later works for the Natural History Museum are showpieces of draughtsmanship and botanical accuracy. Her work on elms and poplars concluded in about 1908, and her landscapes somewhat earlier. From

I send you tracings from my drawings of two species of
