the latter seems to be restricted to a smaller area, I knox<r 

 it only from the United States fronri Pennsylvania to Missouri? - 

 Cöuld it be further west or south ? A.CPray says "and southward"; 

 However, I have seen them only from Pennsylvania, New York,. 

 Missouri and Illinois, and none from the true southern states; 

 Never-the-less, I must foregoo, to dif f erentiate per pusilla - and 

 our questionable species from each other without at least half- 

 ripe seedSf, and also not the pa ucigostata» 



There is the question, how the latter may be obtained; I? first 



got aquainted with it through Karsten with a name given by hinr irr 



a letter, the willingness demands, that, in case it should be des- 



cribed for the first time in my essay, that Karsten retains the au- 



thorship,and I would try to motivate Kasten then, to erive it another 



name than Hegelmaierl , which I do not want to publisfr. Should, how- 



ever, you describe it in the meantime under any kind of a name, or 



remark, that this will be done by anyone of your corapatriots,,, .then 



I would ask you first, to bring my attention to this.. Nothing is 



further from me, as you may have noticed already, then the chase 



f or- authorships.. 



With the Wolffias from Illinois* I found a jLemna, which accor- 



ding to the newest examinations is nothing eise but II, minor sterilis.. 



Yöu write once, that, what I 1 consider as L; minor from Northamerica 



had larger stomata than the europaean minore • I intend to examine 



the related material ' some time in that point;but of the now men- 



tioned plant s one cannot say this.. 



I do not have any plänt samples to be enclosed this time,, 



greeting younwith highest esteenr 1 Your most devotecF
