Your Main , valida could nost likely be identical with ny M, pachy - 

 thele » whlch with M. erinacea and M. Hopf ^eri comes also fronr La 

 Binconada. But unf ortunately, the M. pachythele has beer entirely lost,, 

 and of your valida I own only a. snall seedling plant ,of which not 

 much can be seen as yet.. 



Should you, honored doctor, have still some viable seeds 



left, I would be delighted to receive a shlpraent; I specially de- 

 sire a few grains of Ech . capricorni s. 



With highest esteen I sign Your most obedient
