There are frequently 5 plants and more frequently 6, that constitute small groups of 
Anisophylum Braziliensis ( E. Chamaerrhodos, potentillioides, coecorum, etc.) 
The characteristic of the presence or absence of the caruncula is quite constant. There 
IS never-the-less a plant similar to the E. lanacea Webb impossible to distinguish from 
the E. provincialis Lamm and it has no caruncula!. Where do you have that E. cactoide 
called E. paniculata? lf possible send me a description of the apices and acorns that 
are indented. None has involuted fingers. 
The Euphorbia abyssinica you talked about and the E. longituberculosa callitricoides are 
really quite unique. 
In the herbarium in Berlin there is the E. Palestrii = callitrichoides Klotsch. It is for me 
very Similar to the Euphorbia sanguinea and perhaps it is the E. chyncana. | thank you a 
thousand times for the magnificent volume on the Cactaceae and also for the interesting 
monograph of the Cudentalies. 
The Michana herbarium is part of the Richard herbarium that belongs to Mr. Fianqueville 
in the Palatine of Paris. He is a very complacent man. It is where you can find the 
vagabond Euphorbia prostata. In Sicily it is the E. perforata Guss. 
The E: ricilidera is similar to the E. Wallidiana and the E. Engelmanni according to your 
notes. They are without doubt very close to the Centuria euphorbia. There are several 
types to chose from; since | have seen the herbarium of Paris and London and here | am 
able to name 30 or 40 new species that could be material for new publications. Because 
the Journal of Euphorbia will be published at the end of the winter, | believe it would not 
be worth the while. 
Klotzsch has finished his memoir on the Tricocere Herb. aerolinensis (Gender Euphorbia 
pedilonthus of Mr. Dummiler. It is his fourth paper out of 146. | suspect you have one. | 
will be in contact with the author extermely frequently. | admit that there are a great 
number of species. | believe you have received similar specimen. | have frequent 
contact with the author. | would certainly like to publish a synopsis of the Euphorbia 
Americana bornalis. | have always wanted to communicate with you under the most 
pleasurable circumstances and tell you what | am doing. | am sure we will frequently 
differ in our opinions. 
You do not believe that the E. polyclada is different from the E. petaloidea. Please look 
again into the boxes. There is such a difference between the flowers and the capsules, 
etc. 
Again many thanks for all your observations,etc.etc. Every time |! have plants under my 
eyes | learn something different. 
| do not have plans to study the Euphorbia that are in Paris from Madagascar. At Kew 
there are many Phyllum from New Holland. There are also many things from India 
(Anysophyllum). The species of Borbough are no place nor are the ones from Boyle.
