I knew Sida Elllottll only from Texas« 



Buokleya I had found myself on Freneh broad River above the warm 

 snrlngs.but only In the oondltlon you gotiwe want aale and female flow- 

 •Iii, 



Podostemon was very welcome to me. Your Cyperus dentatua may well be 

 C.aouminatus whioh grows here too. 



Euphorbia Ipeeacuanha lfl very large; I was glad to get good seeds,
