2) Cuscutae f rom "Ledebour with letter 



3) Hypericum pendulunr 



k) Several Cirsir , mainly bastards, as I desire, that you ofe - 

 serve the bastards of north-american Cirsii. 



I have a great number of Compositae duplicates .If you are a 

 friend of this Family or have of them,write to me.. 



Observation of bastards is with us a daily occupation, and I aar 

 looking therein for the key to an explanatiorr of many" doubtful, so-
