and do not know what to make of it. In the Vienna herbarium I found Buonapartea instead. 

 Others appeared to me very much to resemble montieola , of which however I do not know 

 the cones, which I have of Ayacahuite . Howewer I will be glad when finally the plates 

 about Qmorica and the therewith comparable varieties are completely finished. To the 

 enclosed plates belongs one with Qmorica , which I do not have at hand. The matter 

 remained unattended because the flowers were missing. These are now drawn and on these 

 plates, or an accompanying fourth, will be placed a.janensis typica , obovala , Schrenkiana , 

 a new kind from China, a sitchensis squamir lateralis and what I will receive from you 

 of Püggens a **d sitchensis , perhaps Engelmannii . Anyway Qmorica differs entirely from 

 all others, even if it sometimes (short-needled) resembles the orientalis , sometimes 

 tne a.janensis or Menziesii (up to the cones) when it is broad and long-needled. I have 

 not yet seen young plants. To be sure I have worked much on connifers but am still far 

 from the end. 



Respectfully,
