The P. of the cones could well be P. Labinia. I am not sure which one 1 
mean. Everything sent, is almost in pairs. 
P. Labiniana - P. Coulterii 
P. Lambertiana - P. monticola 
P. insignis - P. Auberculata 
P. muricata - P. contorta 
P. ponderosa 
P. flexilis 
P. monophylla. 
P. flexilis & monticola belong to the higher Sierras, monophylla only to 
the eastern slopes of them, to the entirely dry strip of desert. 
Your information concerning Juncus is very interesting, especially the 
small one found by Dr. B. Now we have to look for more and collect more 
(especially since it is here in the city itself). The Junco Co. 31 and Co. 32 
are different even though they grow together in one meadow. In their growth 
they differ considerably or may be more in their bearings. 
Today my vacation ends. It was my intention to send you the heads of your 
Phaeocephelus and Battreus, but a gastric fever made me stay in bed so that much 
of my vacation was spent in bed. However, next Sunday I want to make a trip 
there and obtain the necessary specimens. 
I was on the Islands and wanted to collect the Juncus Bol., but my friend 
there was thrown from his horse and since I could not find the location alone, 
I had to give up. Il am very, very sorry. 
The notices about the Junci I shall copy some of these days and send to you 
though I could write everything from memory without making a mistake since every 
plant I collect I always have in front of my eyes as far as location, soil and 
other circumstances are concerned as soon as 1 have seen the specimen. 
My June trip was very pleasant and, I believe, successful. I traveled through 
Mendocino Co. and the southern part of Humbold Co. I found a new Liliaceae which, 
however, as Gray writes me, was publicized as a new genus by Wood in the Philadelphia 
Academy under the name of Brevoortia Ida-Maia. He called it Maia because that was 
the name of the stage driver's daughter who showed it to him. 
I am sorry about it. The plant is too beautiful to be publicized by such a 
humbugger under such an ugly name. I don't doubt that I have still other new 
things among them. F. i. a Sarcodes, and especially a Melantheaceae which could 
not be put into any genus. 
As far as Juncus is concerned, there is nothing of interest. Wislizeni 
äppears to be everywhere, but not agrifolia. 
With best wishes. Let me hear soon about the pines and Quercus. 
Your devoted friend, 
Henry Bolander
