 My dear Deane : 



Mow as to your two TJnbe Hi ferae questions:- first 

 I send you by mail otir specimen of Co r i and rum sativum f rom New 

 England. The material is not very plentiful but you are at liberty 

 to retain a bit for your own collection. Second, yoix will note on 

 page 18 of the Monograph 'that the range given is often the reported 

 rangeWhich is true in the case of Thaspium trifolium aureura . You 

 will observe that we have mentioned no specimens examined from 

 New England and therefore the New England localities are so far as 

 we are concerned, hearsay. We have taken the range from Rritton 



and Brown. 



Yours very truly, 



Assistant Curator, 



Division of Plants.
