The hills about here are generally covered with 



Hemlock Spruce and Cedars, mixed with Oak. 

 Beginning to flower — Hydrophyllum cauadeuse, 

 Areuaria setacea, Muhlb. ; Scandix dulcis. Out 

 of flower — Mitella diphylla, Arabia falcata.

 & the spur shorter and thicker, which I supposed

 Creek are covered with Hemlock, Oak, Hickory, 

 and here and there, Betula lanulosa. I found a

 reniformis — Hypoxis erecta in flower.

 to go to-morrow the same rout. After dinner I
