I further enclose fruit s of Tracera and lihdeana . Have the kindness 

 to compare sometime the seeds' of the latter with M. spinosi ssima « In,, 

 the color of the fruit, the two plant s are very noticeably dif f erent, , 

 and or my specinen of the Uhdeana is the formation of the snin.es very 

 different fron the spinosi ssina^ Despite this,F. Saln wants to consi- 

 der the latter as a variety of the f irst , with which I can not declare 

 myself entirely in acoord J.
