I put here und er book-post the n.umber of the Garden Zeitung, in which 

 I brir.ee the Drove , that with the restrioting- Addition of the word f, ple-

 lyv so that for the s-enus Han l Ilaria the gernen inner sum in not any nore 

 a conditio sine qua norr (an indi spersible condition,E. D. ) • There would 

 not be any reason, to nake the Separation of the section Aulacathele 

 an absolute necessity, , and , though I anrour.ee a new character, ac cor ding 

 to which a Separation could well take place, 1 would prefer at this time„ 

 not to execute one» . One could use the flores laterales in the diagnosis 

 of the first 10 sections (instead in the character of the genus) , and 

 reserve the flores in apice caulis for the 11 th section: In this way t!

The in.clusion of all llanlllarlae in which a gernen exsertun can be 

 prov enr into the genus Echinocactus , . as Poselzer proeeeds to do, I can 

 not aeeept. This genus will certainly at sone tine fall into se^eral,, 

 and the Speeles with snooth, juicy berries, may then be put to?rether with 

 the Aul^cothel e». 



I also have been prodded, to give ny oninion about speoies,.vari-
