I enclose seeds of this two-f 1 owering form. and hope, they will 



germinate. A. Wislizenus also sends thera; it is common in the same area 



and I enclose also some of those seeds» Further a errain of Cereus 



•-tns, which are very tall, It is supnosed to carry seeds very 



rarely. A. travellinec friend sent recently to ray great joy a snall , 



f lowering cactus, in which I recoemized the lon.fr lost ! l^JJ-JSSJ-JL 



papyracantha , found only once 35 years ago ; It is, as I assumed, 



also 



a true Bchinocactus , to which without doubt the M. mlcromerls raustVbe- 

 long,and consequentially also the Ancheloniae ! Withall of them, 

 the flower emerges fron the tip of the just forming tubercle, and the 

 seeds have mucb in common« 



M i SSqü VU2s[)^X iä oes exist with us,but did not flower again, By all . 

 means send me seeds of Cereus s e r pe n t i nu s , bu t in such a way, that they 

 won 1 t be squashed by the cancellation stamp, , 



Gpuntia 1 angustata is a doubtful species; it is said, that in 

 the sun the menbers becone short» I, nyself, hardly grow any cacti 

 any more and would not know, what to do with Cer ♦ Palneri 



Otd « Missour , fragilis as well as other; Cylindronuntiae I pro - 

 bably ca^ send you in the Fall; now, it may be too late, Several of 

 the species which I brought fron Arizona are ecrowing on,but are still 

 weak a^d cannot be divided. Also, the two species fron Galapagos are 

 still he^e in Shaw 1 s Garden; where however the cacti do not Prosper 

 or are not bei ng cared for well. 



I will have to send you a¥} entire snall case, in. it also ' both 

 Florida Agavae, 



A. Sisalana is a prolif erating A, paniculata ; Miradorcus is,.. 

 as far as I know a geminif lora , and. here belongs also A* Victoriae 

 Regiae » as I believe, I announced to you a long time back. We have a 

 lange specine^ here, which however has not vet flowered.
