THE CORRESPONDENCE OF SCHWEINITZ AND TORREY 123 
The first list, I, contains the names of all plants (excepting 
Cryptogams) growing within my reach.as far as I have observed 
them, which I do not find in the Catalogue of New York plants 
[Torrey, 86] you so obligingly enclosed (for which I beg to express 
my most cordial acknowledgements). If you will please to mark in 
your next which of these plants I can serve you with, I shall 
certainly send such of them as I have in duplicate as soon as 
possible & take measures to procure those which I have not by 
me for a future remittance. Other southern plants, not immedi- 
ately in our reach I may possibly be able to procure for you thro’ 
my southern friends. The second List, II, contains those plants 
of your Catalogue which are wanting in my collection (or at least 
American specimens of which I have not seen)—& I should con- 
sider it as a very great favor indeed if you could procure me any 
or all of them. The third List contains the names of the Fungi 
you have so kindly sent me. The names to which you find Nob. 
subjoined are of my own giving and are species which I had be- 
fore observed here. No 49 [Gyropodium ? coccineum Nob. a 
new species*]. Gyropodium (a Genus I have ventured to make) 
coccineum is a species I have never found in Carolina but once 
observed in Pensylvania. The other species, Gyrop. lutescens, 
about six times as large is common here. No 91 [Merulius minu- 
tissimus, a new species—very distinct]. Merulius minutissimus 
is a beautiful new species. I think the name you give it very 
appropriate. No 95 [Nov. an Sph{aeria] herbarum denominand. 
This requires exam. by the compound microscope], found in your 
Herbar[ium] is a very interesting fungus entirely unknown. I shall 
submit it to a full examination under the great microscope as 
soon as I can. No 107 [nov. too indistinct to determine] is an ex- 
tremly remarkable thing, but I can’t make anything of it. Does it 
revivify? May it not perhaps be some morbid affection of the 
Fern on which it grows? No 108 (nov. Isaria antheriformis 
Nob. nov. spec.]|—I have called Jsaria antheriformis but should 
like to know on what you found it & whether it was in a fresh state 
just as it is now. I thinkita very curious thing worthy of being 
closely examined. No. 62 [Craterium clavatum Nob. Morchella 
esculenta], was double, the one the Morchella, the other a young
