And yet.I have become aquainted in recent tiraes with sorae few 



forms (specially one in the Vienna herbariura, which I had to use one 



of these days) , which caused rae unending headaches (in German rt head- 



braking" E.D.)#mitil I decided to accept the supposition, that here 



was a form with characteristics of both speoies, thus a connectin^ 



link. The form comes from Ohio (Gregn*) . The shape of the fruit and 



the direction of the seed as most import^nt characteristics ties her 



rather to perpusilla , even though in this point approximation to minor 



exists. Pauclrostata can not be in the picture here.as it is more 



distant from minor through the structure of the seed*. 



You wrote earlier some time, that you had so much material of 



Wolf f la , that you could provide all collections in the world. If this 



be so, I take the liberty to recoramend'- the K.K.. (königlich & kaiser- 



liche~ s royal and imperial) TJLennese Hofkabinet and the K. Berlin 



herbarium at some time«, for consideration. Transmittal (specially 



to Vienna, with which you probably are not in correspondence,! could 



undertake. Plant s immer sed in alcohol are not sui table for drylng; 



Both named collections possess neither Wv columbiana nor W. brasill - 



ensis , only of the first do I find a nuraber in the Vienna collec - 



tion, little plants.found by accident, under L. polyrrhiza , of which 



it is uncertain if they are from Ohio or New York.. 



When I sent you L. trisulca - I believe it was last Spring - 



I had only a few, as I could not find a party, which believed to 



possess it. Recently , the matter has been resolved , . wheref or I en- 



close further material.. One finds the plant in collections, and we 



have also flowering ones; in those used by me so far they are not 



present,or only in Single fronds.;

I hope, that my (letters f^om past autumn have come to you f ,
