Dear Sir, 
I have the honour to confirm the receipt of your letter of last month and 
TI hurry to let you know what I know of the Callitriche, 
You will receive a specimen of Callitriche verna. This is the only species 
which I found in Canada and here are the exact localities: 
1. Around Quebec, rather common, 2, Prescott (Upper Canada), 3, Around Kingst n,. 
TI read the notes I took in Paris on Michaux's herbarium,. The label of Callitriche 
did not give any precise locality. His manuscript journal does not mention this 
plant at all, so that I cannot say whether this plant (C. verna) is found north 
of Quebec, You probably have European specimens, I could send you the following 
species which came from Germany and France: 
1, C,. verna, C. autumnalis, C. intermedia, 
You will also receive two small Gentiana which I received from Labrador, 
TI am studying Abies again; I shall edit my observations and make them part of 
my next letter, 
I have not heard from Mr, Parlatore since my return from Eurovpe, 
Your devoted servant, 
Ovide Brunet 
I BE
