 My de a r Mr . Deane : - 



Your spe ciimn of so called Thasplum aureum has 

 been received and returned. It is as you guessed, good Zizia aurea. 

 I have a letter this morning from Mr. Pollock of Buckhannon,West 

 Virginia. In answer to my letter regarding his Thaspium aureum , 

 he says he is also in receijDt of a letter from you expressing 

 doubt regarding his species. No, I do not have a copy ofVtural 

 Science and Religion but would be very glad to receive a copy./^ 

 I do not understand why you have not received a copy of my Contr,/.^ 

 No. 9. If it has not reached you by this time please send me a 

 line and I will see that you are supplied at once. I have sent 

 you a specimen of Tradescantia virginica var. villosa Watson. 

 C0HHielijaa__co22^ is very co-nnon about Washington and I will try 

 and get you a good specimen of it this ctoing season. This is the 

 Plant that Dr.Morong referred to in the Torrey Bulletin Vol.XX,p. 

 469. 



Yours very truly 



Assistant Botanist .
