Have the pleasure to announce the arrival of your shipmenti oft 

 April 22, through Mr. . Schutze. I an the nore thankful' as I have the 

 best hope not to lose any of the plantsr. They arrived about 2 weeks 

 asro and gave ne rauch pleasure. M » meromeri s is a glorious species,, 

 which is already gr owing. Oer . Deppei (which has not yet recovered) 

 is different fron our Deppei . Cer . nrostratus is new. As I an at 

 this tirae occupied with the genus Opuntia , your species were very 

 welcone. Your Ojd. setispina is a very good and new species ( I re- 

 gnet not to know your diagnosis) . The Op. species fron Saltillo is 

 a 0. microdasys l oexior , which Mr. . Ehrenberg brough several years ago 

 to Berlin. The 0p. species fron Chihuahua seeras to ne too to be new; 

 but I cannot determine this with certairty, and, also, if the species 

 fron the Upper Missouri is different fron 0. ni ssourl ensi s ? The 0p.. 

 Ttma, .howe^er is without doubt new, and I shall nane it . En^elnanni i . , 

 With the help of Ii vi ng plant's and several deceased nenbers, which you 

 sent ne last year, I worked up the following diagnosis, and ask Your 

 Wellborn to teil ne, if it is good T H 0. caule erecto, robusto,ar -
