Silphium alterftifolium mihi (fol. ovata lanceolatis, scaberrimis)=S. scaberrius EH.? 



Helianthus aimtms (cutt.) 



H. (lenticularis) 



H. gigantem 



H. grosse serratus 



S» doronicoides 



H. Bowensis m. (=H. strumosus ?) 



Lobelia spicata Lam. cum var. bracteata mihi? 



Our Gerardia has rose-red lowers and egg-shaped capsules; leaves very narrow, 

 become black and bittle after drying — Gerardia obovata mihi. 



A bastard of Verbena stricta & hastata =V. hybrida m. is not uncommon here e 



Physalis, of which we have at least three species and several varities, unfortunately, 

 died. The description in the floras at my disposal are insufficient. Our Physalis 

 par excellence is probably Ph«, angulata , however, it is found with green as well 

 as with brown flower bases. Stern angular, calyx rather puffed up. Fruit greenish 

 yellow, very sticky. The whole plant is hollow; leaves at the base irregulär. 



A Sumex with long leaves, undulating at the edges, exists on the shores of the 

 Missouri, however, it is not yet in flower= R. conglomeratus Murr.? Among the 

 Polygonum species we have one which is close to P. nodosum L. 



Our Ohara is probably Ch. hispida? 



Sincerely yours, 

 Th. A. Bruhin.
