mean climber, E.D.) but our celtic bovine status has not yet 
succeeded to completely eradicate the PARNEeS a rt: 
ceae do not exist in this neishbourhood.. EEE I have not 
yet found, Typha however in masses. Nelumbium does not seem to 
be present here, the only plant of this group known to me is 
a Nuphar. Also Miss and Gydrachiaceae are non-existent 
an edible 
in this area with exception of alSarittaria, introduced by the 
Chinese, who'se cultivation does not seem to be successful,but 
which nevertheless persists in the neishbourhood in some 
escaped, miserable specimens,. 
Of Cuscuta I .know two kinds, the one quite common bn 
Salifornia, the other climbs on Ceanothus. Of the latter I 
gave once a diagenosis in the transactions of the local academy 
under the preliminary name Cuscuta a diagenosis is by 
the nature of the search very inc&mplete as for comparison I had 
only the just mentioned parasitic kind on the Salifornia and 
none of the closer positioned exotics.. 
Of Euphorbias there is here only one rather ee ie ee

As there are no conifers in the area, it is difficult er

obtain their BEBdSBs. Ihere is however in the country a Arven - 
trobium or Be or ne In this connection I remember 
that I have seeds of a root-parasyte of a Pterospora. I shall 
send you some of them, I myself am busy to grow the Pinus on 
who'se roots I will sow the Pterosvora sometimes. We also have 
an Anoplanthus. I would like to consider the Castillejas and 
rıyhySarıafs 
Triphyadinı also as parasites as I have never been able to raise 
4, 
them from seed or to transplant them while a Triphysoria arrived
