VII, 102 from the Island of Sitcha he has after a careful examination ascertained that it is a Crepis = Crepis borealis C.H. He has called the plant in question Luthera virginica (Linnaea 1835.) In Ledebour's herbarium he has found the Apargia borealis Bong. ynthia is an entomological genus, and ought therefore not to be admitted into. He writes me that he is delighted with your which sent him, and requests me to communicate to you the follow not Schultz in Deidesheim, Germany who occupies himself principally with the Compositae and especially the Cichoriaceae, and intends editing arium of Cichoriaceae. I am arranging my american Collections now and find a large number of plants, which I should like to send to you, but they may not be new and interesting to you, and the difficulty of sending them safely is such that I still hold on till I can find a perfectly safe opportunity. Galium latifolium Mx I have found in northwestern Arkansas and near Little Rock on barren stony hills. to 32 of your 2d volume I have got by mail. I have received nothing yet respecting the Chara's but expect it daily. Mr Gambel of Philadelphia a pupil of Mr Nuttall has been here a few days ago on his way to Sta Fe, where he expects to stay a whole year. I have in the last months begun a correspondance with Mr Curtis N Carolina, and Prof Short in Louisville and I expect much benefit from it. If any young botanist in your neighbourhood who has time and skill, and zeal to collect, will send me any of the plants named, I offer him in exchange western and European plants. Others equally interesting I found Last edit about 1 year ago by JannypĪnnexed I send you a long, long list of desiderata extracted from Torrey's Report to the Legislature. I send you hereby the $20, which I owe you ($ 18.00 + 2.00).Īt Niagara I found the plants indicated you, especially the Hedeoma and the Hypericum (the latter past flowering) and many others, which I had never seen in the southwestern country. So, if you have no other name for a new genus, do as you were kind enough to propose - and if you possibly can, favour me with a specimen of the plant for our collection. Your proposition to name a new genus after my humble self is very flattering, so much so that I can not object - and other objections in the shape of an other new genus of my name "in esse or in posse " do not exist to my knowledge. I received your kind letter more than 3 weeks ago, and would have answered it immediately, if I had not expected my things every day - but longer wait I can not, though they are not yet here, and consequently I can not gratify your wish relating to the Chara - genus.
