 My dear Deane: 



What material have jou under Coelospermara gmelini 



from the eastern United States and are any of your specimens in 

 fruit? This appears to be the Ligusticum actifolittm of Michx, 

 It may be that we will want to see your material but do not send 

 it just now. If we need it I will send one of our boxes for it 

 for it is really not safe to trust the herbarium specimens between 

 ordinary binders boards. 



Yours very truly, ^ 



Assistant Curator, 



Division of Plants.
