St. Helena, Neb., 3 October 1881, 



Dear Sir f 



Assuming that you, dear Doctor, has kkkxk been KEUmback to St« Louis 

 by the Colorado coldness, I am sending you several specimens vhich cause d me 

 nany headaches — bat von't do that to you« 



1 # Two Euphorbiae, of vhich I found one in Omaha, the other in Westfield, Ga 

 (small-leaved), the other in Green Island (broad-leaved) . The one I found 

 in Omaha seems to be related to E« mercuriolis, but still is a different 

 species — Icalled it ^. Oreightoniana« The species from Westfield 8: Green 

 Island reminded me very much of Thesium of the Swiss and Tyrolian Alps, 

 therefore, I alled it L # thesioides # 



2 # A Solidago which is found here quite often, seems to be S« puberala or 

 nemoralis. 



3# Cxybaphus pentendrus mihi is perhaps 0. augustifol. 



k. Two grasses which I did not recognize I just named Gramen viride & Gramen 

 album # 



Lord, helpj 7/e are being ruinedj 



Your admirer, 

 Th # A # Bruhin 



Two giant weeds which I found here quite frequently do not coincide with any 

 descriptions of eastern floras: 

 1« Helianthus anno similliraus« 

 2. Ghenopodium urbico affinis.
