City,

Dear Doctor, 















I am hurrying 



to send 



you some specimens of a small _ 



Juncus 



however 



I shall not decide 



whether 



this 



is different 



frora the one 



I sent you from 



Ukiah. The larger 



specimen grew 



with them. 



I found them 



in a wet sandy 



spot in Long Valley, Mendocino Co. I also collected Nuphar for you, 

 however, without fruits, it was still too early. 



I collected plenty of oaks and shall collect raore as soon as I come 

 to Anderson Valley in a few days. 



The two Pinus species here are now in bloom. Shall collect plenty. 

 Pinus ponderosa I have also, together with a little tree. 



Since I left my family I had a hard time. On the third of this month 

 wh«n going over the coastal mountains we had a heavy snow storm. Now it 

 is better. Found beautiful things which I had never seen before. 



Write to San Fr. 



.. With best wishes 



Yours 



H. N. Bolander 



My No. k691 is this small Juncus .
