Dear Sir, 
T received your last letter in which you express your desire to obtain 
specimens of Canadian Juncus, I am not surprised that the Canadian Juncus is 
rare in the herbaria of the United States, since these plants are much too often 
neglected and which are also missing in most of our Canadian herbaria, Mine is 
not among those; I am gending you some species with their respective localities, 
Junces of Canada, 
J. tenuis Willd., Very common,

5e nodosus. L d 
9, Juncus ? Anticosti, 
The J, scirpoides Lam, I found in the Canadian West (Prescott). The plant under 
no, 9 comes from Anticosti, I found it during my voyage to that island, I do not 
know what it is; perhaps it is a Scirpus, Please let me know what you think about 
the others, With regard to J, fluitans, this is a plant which I do not know, 
Michaux collected it at Chicoutimi, more than 100 miles norht of Quebec, 
This winter I returned to the study of Abies, The more ÎI study what has 
been written by various authors on this group of plants, the more contradictions 
I find and details which they did not think necessary to report, f.i. with regard 
to Abies alba I give ur all hope to arrive at a satisfactory result. 
Your devoted 
Ovide Brunet
