I also own a new edition of A.Glrey. where also most of them are 

 descrlbedi To the latter, as I am told, there are supposed to exist 

 Supplements instead of an unchanged füll edition, of which you spoke 

 earlierMy local bookstore coi)ld not provide these until now,but I T own 

 the Supplement dealing with the Lemnae in hand copy,. 



About the recently mentioned pointt of the synergid, I may not 

 have expressed myself exactlyv and thus was not understood correctly 

 by you. I do not have the slightest doubt about the coraplöte identity 

 of Philipp! • s specimens, his«. !/« valdiviana with Mr. Austin 1 I/.Torreyi 

 and was, as far as I anteceded^ the last designation, corrected? by the 

 next^hot examiner but) compilator. Ih contrast, there exists another 

 (named by Phil - , L. minima^ and only knowrr sterile) ) form, of which I be- 

 lieve, that it does not belong^ to any of the others,also not t oIT.Val - 

 diviana ?= Torreyi, though it does seem to have relation to this.. This 

 LI* minima, at least seems to belong to it, exists also in^he westerrr 

 North America; I am just in the process, to go over the revelant num- 

 bers to the best of my ability». 



Again thanking you vor your multiple Communications and gifts
