Drummond's plant is no doubt much larger than Michaux's plant is described but perhaps Michaux's one is
incorrectly so.
I must here stop before I have half done with the Gramineae in order to send you from Beeks
Box of the middle and northern states any desiderata of Gramineae :
agrostis stricta vulgaris alba sobolifera seinsea clandestina spica venti canina. Trichodium moutanum Polyphogon
racemosus. Trichcloa capillaris Muhlenbergi erecta alopecurintinctis gerienlatus and Phleum pratense
Phelaris americanum Ell canariensis Lin. (I have only one spieces from the U.S. the P. microsantibus DO but not the canariensis is then no mistake?)
Crypsis virginica. milium effescens pungens. Panicum hispidum fedum culatin scoparcin nervosen macrocarbon
pulcescum involutum defaniperation nitidum A,B,C,E,F, anceps rectum longifolium. Setaria (all unless they
be among Drummond's. I have sent them to [?] for examination). Orthopogon iebriatus. Digit serotina. Stipa
auenaeca. Aristida dichotom stricta. Calame grostis mexicana colorata canadensis brevifolis Halleriana ceratianis
Psamma arenaria. Anthoxanth odorata. Aira (all the four). Avena (both). Trisetum pensylvania, palustri,
subsfication. Holcus lanatus. Hierachlae (I have both from Canada neither from the U.S.) Festuca nuxuren,
duriuscula, velea, elatior, prateusis elandutina diandr. glabra. Ceratachlan unibide (my spem is very bad) Dacty.
bi glumerata. Kaeleria pensylvanica. Bromus (all the five). Poa (I want no. 1.2.3.4.5.6.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.
17.) Glyceria acutiflora. Briza media. Astheropogon afludoides (if it is not among Drummond's) Hordem jubaten.
Locale cereale. Elymus canadensis villosum. Triticum (all the four). Lolim (both) Spartina cynosuroides.
Zizania neiliacea Mich. (if different from Drummond's broad leafed plant) Hydrochtae fluitans (this is not among
my collections from Drummond and I know otherwise only a poor fragment of it) Oryopsis asperifolia. In all I want
both American specimens or about 110 species according to Beck's work above. Then if I look to Dr. Gray's

[Address and seal]

two volumes, I find that in addition I have no specimens in my herbarium. Of his No. 9,13,18,19,20,28,
45 (this has little or no resemblance to our Aire cristata), 56, 101, 102, 116,125 (my spem is bad), 127 and I admit all
notice of Elliott's species either of Cyperacae or Gramineae because I have none unless they be found in the
middle or northern states or unless they be among Drummond's.  I shall conclude this letter by sending
youmy desiderata of N. American asters from Nees' work. Aster richardsonii biflorus suresclosus (my
specimen so called from you in 1834 does much agree with the description) gracilis spectabilis redula (my
wild ones Nees says are A. nudiflorens) oblongifolius (Nees thinks mine is A. pateniss montances heterophyllus
accuminatus prenanthoides firmus ostions blandus obliquas hiemalis tardifloras NE (but not of Linnaeus 
whose plant is A. cornuti N.E.) Nova Belgia and B and V, luxurians, aster, adulterinus equrrosus emineus
and B and V, simplex recervatus leucanthemus laxus and carneus belllidiflorus parsiflores deceumodus
glabellus squarrodus purpuratus ternifolias confectus cyaneus rubricaulis. Symplyotrichium unctuosum (but
Hooker and Lindley assert this to be A. tardiflorus B). Eurylia glomerata Tripolium palidosum flaricosum panciflorum
Galatella hypophifolia Daellingeria amyodalina obovata ptarmicoides Callimmeris bienuis
Boltonic astroides -- about 50 species. hiatus valde lacherssmabilis!!
I suppose that you know tha the famous Bellis integrifolia has been found abundantly by Drummond
in the mountains of Texas and was in cultivation last summer in the Bot. Gardens of Glasgow where I
examined it. It proves to be not a species of Bellis but belongs to Brachycome of Cassini and is moreover identical
with Br. xanthocomoides Lefs. (see Nees v. Essenb. Aster. p 237  
I found some onemoranda lying on my table for you but perhaps I copied them out in my last ; they are: 1. Is Aira obtusa
the same as Koeleria truncata? 2. Drummond's vilfa (from St. Louis 1831) like yours V. vaginiflora is V. ocenthiflora N E. 3. Muhlenbergia
Willdenowii is certainly Tosagris agrostidea P. B. (but not Trichochloa polypogens) 4. Two new species of Ceseiola from New Orleans from
Drummond's old collection: one is very like Ch. gracilis but has hirsute vaginae (u. pilosa Arn.) the other is internudiat between it and
u. latifolia; I call it Drummondi. 5. Festuca fascicularis is Taidery fascialaris NE. 6. Taicuspis scabioides is Tridens eupreas N. E.
7. Avena glumosa Michaux (of which I have a spem under his old name of Av. calycina) is D. sericea. 8. I have Manilloris gramlaris from New Orleans.  Yours very truly, G. A. Walker Arnott
