Cer.pr- ; s DCr both plante are still smair with me. - 



Your Cer. cocineus must be rebaptized" to punicus - Of your Cerei 



which are entered in my work, I have lost C. Coespitosus ^ cas- 



taneus. .. - C. viridif lorus. - C, ruf ispinus, and C \ d a syacanthus . . The 



last two I had obtained thron^h Hr. Potts without nanes, : they cor- 



responded perfectly with your d i agr am . - - H . gunmi f e ra is entirely 



unkrown to mer There are nany speoies with milk-like juice.^ Your 



W+ par- r -^1 do not know either. — Your Ejch.unguispinus is 



develoring now with me and /rrows ( fron seed of the preceding year) 



well'r I do not dare yet to deternine to which sectiorr it will be- 



long.,- r believe conf idently, to have united: the Ech. OU rsellä- 



nus as synonym with. Bch.multif lorus. Plants, which I received frorn- 



different Wardens, make rae believe, that Ech. - Oursellanu s is a 



that must be placed r?^ , , <c c 



true Speeles ^between multiflorus and hyptiacanthus aco^v^us 



Receive, Your Wellborn, the assuranoe of my gratitude for 



all you have send me and will send me., with those of my highest- 



esteem» , 



How do you get along with our Republicans ? They can be 

 used willingly for such expeditions as that of Mr. Lopez.. May God r 

 guide them to California and provide them with gold;. V/hat are the 

 thoughts in your country about the colony of Mr. - Gäbet ?" In this 

 country he is being judgeci by law as ajrt impostor; may-be one does 

 hin wrong. 



Your Wellborn most devote* 



Prince to Salm Dyck
