had to suffer through a serious illness, pleuritis, in Florenz. 
My bounty is plentiful but poor in interesting forms. But a 
hiatus in Africa's geography, especially the plant geography 
has been filled with our travels. 
I feel free to include 5 examples of Cuscuta. Nr 3 and 
5 seem to be from the cultivated Trifolium alexandrinum, but 
1;2 and 4 are from wild plants and all Ipelieyezron Arabica 
which you say is the most common in Egypt. #5 is not really 
typical ; I included \itsto Eind ;Sursif you think IT might also 
be arabica after all.I could not wait any longer for the flower 
development in the lean-to in the oasis where I spent 6b weeks.
