on paffe l62. Wenks makes a renark, whiclt was nuch doubted by the 

 prince and Mr. . Faure» based on the propositiorr^, that it would be en- 

 tirely in^robable, that the flower could develop an the tlp op: the 

 veny elongated-, . thirr tube-soales. . 



Two weeks affo I recelved finally^ after beinp here 1| years,, a 

 letter and shipment of plant s f^on Mr. Labourett. His raoving fvorrv 

 Ruf f ec to Ungantime and his settling in the latter place preventedr" hiur 

 to write to ne„ He nade now a very valuable shipraent to rae of a \ot of 

 plant s f o^ which I did not even know the nane be^o^e now. Thus, e.ff. 

 E* hyptiacanthus , megatothel e, , E. hypt. ni tidus , E. Thoraensls , nettrei- 

 lanus, the loideus , then a monstrosity of E. gibhosus fron a place,, the 

 nane of which I cannot decipher, which though lies below the M,N.. 

 Further a M. . variabili s (Labournet)', Ech. . . Myslei ; -iSchc. Blanxii,, 

 C Benneri, platygonus,, tephracanthus, pentaedraphori s, amruinif orni s .. 



I wrote hj. ni' affain inned iately* nade a count er- shipraent", anf told 

 hin at the same time, that you were in Europe, and would ffo to Paris 

 durinff th e Sunnei\ a^d asked hlra as well, to send you seeds-. If you 

 have the time* do not let the effort discourage you, to make a sid. e - 

 tri p to AnganteW. The trlp would be worthwhile f or you and the study 

 of cacti. Yesterday I received already a ^e^ly fron Li, with an enclosure 

 for yoir, which contains a formal invfitation for you.. 



If you should have the time to go once nore to Linke, please have 



the kindness to teil him, he should not ship the ordered plants yet, 



I would first write hinrr as soon as I get a Garrison location.. To you
