A Handwritten Account of Three Pages About the Visit of Rev. Philip and Margaret Phelps to Holland, Michigan, as the Phelps Family Made a Western Tour.
Get PDFA handwritten account of three pages about the visit of Rev. Philip and Margaret Phelps to Holland, Michigan, as the Phelps family made a western tour. The document may have been written by Frances Phelps Otte. The document is undated. There is considerable detail in the account as to the various kinds of transportation used and the places stayed during the trip. At this time, Phelps was pastor of the Reformed Church, Hastings on- Hudson, New York. The author believed that the Board of Education of the Reformed Church in America may have suggested visiting the Colony. When the Phelps called on the Van Raaltes, Mrs. Van Raalte was holding daughter, Anna, who was very sick. Van Raalte was not home. The Phelps were entertained at supper by the John Van Vlecks. Van Vleck was conducting academy classes in some home. Phelps preached September 28 in the Dutch Church. On Monday, the Phelps took the stage to Grand Haven.https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/vrp_1850s/1346/thumbnail.jp

Bulbophyllum anodon J. J. Vermeulen, Thavipoke & Phelps 2014, sp. nov.
No full textBulbophyllum anodon J.J.Vermeulen, Thavipoke & Phelps, sp. nov. (Figs. 2, 3) Type:— Probably northwestern Thailand, Phelps 8078 (BKF). Bulbophyllum cylindricoides Chen & Shui (2006: 217) (invalid name). Diagnosis: Most similar to B. fissibrachium Smith (1927: 166; Sumatra) and B. repens Griffith (1851: 293; China, Myanmar, Thailand, Sumatra) of section Brachystachyae; both species differ by having a patent, triangular, acute tooth along the lower margins of the stelidia. The first also differs by having a deltoid median sepal of approx. 3.6 mm wide, as well as by the auriculate lip; the second also differs by the retuse to truncate petal apex. Shares the diverging midveins of the lateral sepals with B. divergens Vermeulen & O’Byrne (2011: 88; Borneo, Sulawesi and New Guinea). The last species has longer pedicels (2.0– 4.5 mm long), an obtuse median sepal, and elliptic(-obovate) lateral sepals. Short-creeping epiphyte. Rhizome c. 5 mm diam., sections between pseudobulbs c. 1 cm long, rhizome scale fibres persistent. Pseudobulbs ovoid, c. 0.5 × 0.5 cm, not angular. Leaf erect to patent; petiole 0.2–5.0 cm long; blade elliptic to obovate, 6.0–14.0 × 1.6–3.5 cm, ratio length/width 3.3–4.8, rounded to obtuse. Inflorescence a dense, cylindrical raceme, 10—19 cm long, 50–60-flowered. Peduncle 7.5–15.0 cm long, scales c. 4. Rachis nodding, 2.5–4.0 cm long. Floral bracts c. 2 mm long. Flowers with pedicel plus ovary c. 1.5 mm long. Sepals creamy white to pale pink-purple, with slightly darker purple (-brown) veins and margins; median sepal free, somewhat recurved, ovate-triangular, c. 2.8 x 1.7 mm, ratio length/width 1.6–1.7; acute-acuminate, margins entire; glabrous, 3–5-veined; lateral sepals free, porrect, oblique, ovate, c. 3.5– 1.9 mm, ratio length/width 1.8–1.9, rounded, margins entire, glabrous, triveined. Petals white with purple(-brown) vein, porrect, obovate-oblong, c. 2.2 × 1.0 mm, ratio length/width c. 2.2, acuminate, margins entire, erose apically, glabrous, 1-veined. Lip yellow, suffused brown-purple, or pale green, white towards the margins and with a dark brown spot near the base, slightly recurved above half-way along its length, elliptic, c. 2.1 × 1.4 mm, ratio length/width c. 1.5 (without spreading), obtuse, margins entire, minutely papillose basally, adaxially somewhat concave near the base, with 2 ridges that start near the base close to the margin and then converge but leave a depression in between, and end at about 3/5 along the length of the lip, apical part of lip slightly convex, adaxial surface glabrous but finely papillose towards the base, abaxially with a ridge near the base with a rounded crest, somewhat concave towards the apex, surface glabrous. Column including stelidia c. 1.2 mm long, stigma transversely elliptic. Stelidia porrect, c. 0.6 mm long, oblong-triangular, acute, upper margin with an inconspicuous, antrorse, rounded wing near the apex, lower margin with a slight, patent, rounded wing lower down. Anther connective in front not or hardly drawn out. Pollinia 4. Distribution:— Probably northwestern Thailand (plant purchased at Jatujak Market, Bangkok, from a longestablished trader who reported an origin of Mae Hon Song Province); China (see below). Etymology:— Anodous (Gr.) = toothless. Ecology:— Unknown. Conservation status:— Unknown, but occasionally found in the commercial trade in Thailand. Notes:— Species indigenous to Thailand showing some similarity to B. anodon are B. cylindraceum Lindley (1830: 53; see below), which has a large bract just below the rachis, and B. khasyanum Griffith (1851: 284), which has flowers approximately twice as large as B. anodon. Bulbophyllum cylindraceum Lindley (1830 –1840: 53) differs from B. khasyanum Griffith (1851: 284) by having a large bract just below the base of the rachis. Seidenfaden (1979: 180) erroneously lists the single Thai specimen of B. cylindraceum (Kerr 187 from Doi Suthep) under B. khasyanum. Bublophyllum cylindricoides (Yunnan, China) is the same but was not validly published because no Latin description or diagnosis was provided and no type was indicated (Vienna Code, Art. 36.1 and 37.1); Chen & Vermeulen (2009: 436) incorrectly list B. cylindricoides as a synonym of B. repens.Published as part of Vermeulen, Jaap J., Phelps, Jacob & Thavipoke, Patana, 2014, Notes on Bulbophyllum (Dendrobiinae; Epidendroideae; Orchidaceae): two new species and the dilemmas of species discovery via illegal trade, pp. 12-22 in Phytotaxa 184 (1) on page 14, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.184.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/515108
Bulbophyllum dhaninivatii Seidenfaden
No full textBulbophyllum dhaninivatii Seidenfaden (Section Lemniscatae) Seidenfaden (1965: 154). Type: — Thailand, Phu Mieng, GT 5469 (C, not seen). Heterotypic synonym: Bulbophyllum tripaleum Seidenfaden (1979: 203). Type:— Thailand, Ban Mussoe, GT 7279 (C, not seen). Notes:— Bulbophyllum dhaninivatii and B. tripaleum are similar, except for the presence of the paleae on the sepals in the latter species. Next to this, the drawing of B. tripaleum in Seidenfaden (1979: 203) shows a lip with keels, but the description only mentions a ‘v-shaped concavity on upper surface’ We assume that he meant to describe the v-shaped ridge surrounding the basal cavity. If so, the lip is about identical to that of B. dhaninivatii. The sample Phelps 2012 (Thailand) is intermediate between the two types. It has some flowers without paleae on the sepals, and others with much smaller paleae than in B. tripaleum. We identify Phelps 2012 as B. dhaninivatii and conclude that both names refer to the same species. Plants lacking the paleae are occasionally found in other species in section Lemniscatae with paleate sepals, e.g. in B. lemniscatoides Rolfe (1890: 672) (var. exappendiculatum Smith, 1920: 92).Published as part of Vermeulen, Jaap J., Phelps, Jacob & Thavipoke, Patana, 2014, Notes on Bulbophyllum (Dendrobiinae; Epidendroideae; Orchidaceae): two new species and the dilemmas of species discovery via illegal trade, pp. 12-22 in Phytotaxa 184 (1) on pages 18-21, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.184.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/515108

Letter from Jacob O. Doesburg to Christian Vander Veen
Get PDFIn this letter from Jacob O. Doesburg to Christian Vander Veen who currently is a student in the New Brunswick Seminary studying for the ministry, he is writing about political issues in Holland.

Edmund Phelps’ Structuralist Theory of Employment
No full textThe paper evaluates the contribution of Nobel Prize-winning American economist Edmund Phelps to the development of contemporary economics. The author analyzes Phelps’ structuralist theory of employment and compares his views with the ideas of other acclaimed economists such as Milton Friedman, John M. Keynes, and Friedrich A. Hayek. Godłów-Legiędź looks at Phelps’ achievements in the context of the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences’ decision to grant him a Nobel Prize, and describes Phelps’ position on some key dilemmas of 20th century economics. According to Godłów-Legiędź, the assessment of Phelps’ achievements offered by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is in fact incomplete, because it overlooks his structuralist theory of employment. Phelps, who calls himself a structuralist, considers this theory of employment to be his most important contribution to macroeconomics, Godłów-Legiędź notes. Phelps’ achievements cannot be viewed exclusively in terms of the link between inflation and unemployment, she says. It is necessary to consider the economist’s focus on what he described as “endogenizing the natural rate of unemployment,” an approach that reveals the differences between Phelps’ theory and those of Keynes and his followers as well as the monetarists and neoclassicists. Defining the natural rate of unemployment as a function of real demand and supply, Phelps referred to the 1930s dispute between Keynes and Hayek that involved the classicist and Austrian interpretations of key economic relationships. Phelps’ unorthodox approach is reflected not only by his theory and attitude to neoclassical economics, Godłów-Legiędź says, but also by his assessment of European and American capitalism and his belief about the need for fundamental changes in economic and social policies
