THE CORRESPONDENCE OF SCHWEINITZ AND TORREY 211 
Heuchera pubescens. I think the species you describe is past al] 
doubt the H. caulescens of Pursh—a most elegant plant with very 
large flowers & leaves on the stalk. I hope to be able to send you 
a specimen. It is very common in the Allegany mts.—I found it 
likewise but much smaller at Harrisb[urg].

Plants in Dr. Torrey’s Flora highly desirable [lists 31; 13 from 
no. I, 18 from no. 2]. 
. Temarks on No. 2 of Dr. Torrey’s Flora. 
. Digitaria serotina. This species is marked +. Why? It 
grows not rarely here at Bethlehem and is very distinct from 
any of the others. 
. Andropogon virginicum. Are you confident that this is the 
same with the A. dissitiflorum Elliott?-—I have two species, 
one of which I call A. virg—the other dissitif. both from 
Carolina. 
Androp. nutans. The species which grows here plentifully— 
and which agrees well with avenaceum, is I think considerably 
different from the one I called nutans at Salem—perhaps a 
variety only. The Bethl{ehem] species differs at first sight, 
by the dark brown color of the seeds—which in Carol. is 
always quite light. 
. Proserpinaca pectinacea. There is not the slightest doubt in 
in my mind that this species is perfectly distinct from the 
former [P. palustris]. 
. Galium tinctorium. I believe with you that what we call 
tinctorium here is not distinct from trifidum. But the true 
tinctorium of the Musking[um] from which the Indians— 
according to all our missionaries—make their red dye—is 
different. 
- G. boreale; not rare at Hope, New Jersey, and Easton. What 
I have by the name of bermud{ianum| appears to belong to 
this. 
. Sanguisorba media. I have founda species, exactly answering 
this, which appears distinct enough—much smaller than 
canadens{is| in all its parts. 
- Plantago media-—My specimen from this vicinity is exactly 
like the P. media and quite distinct from major. 
- Have te seen the Exacum?—Pursh or Nuttall doubts its 
existen
