          Texas II. n° 282 must form a new genus: it seems to agree in many
points with Rhynch. [Rhynchospora] plumosa of Ell. [Elliott] (judging from his descript [description). Perhaps
now it ought to be referred near to Chaetospora. Have you got
Drummond Texas III. There are a good many Graminea & Cyperac. [Cyperaceae]
and I would feel much  obliged if you were to send me your
names to the numbers of the Cyperaceae of all Drummond's. I
on the other hand will send  you Nees v. [von] Esenbeck's opinion when
I get his observations on my specimens. 
You ask me to send you a [?] of my desiderata of N. [North]
American plants, but that is no easy matter, particularly
as Drummond's are not yet determined. Unless the last packet 
or two I have recd. [received] from you, the specimens are principally
from about New York, whereas it is the Carolina & Southern
plants I am more deficient in. I may have them from Drumd [Drummond],
but I wish well determined & authentic specimens. If you
can send me the numbers to Drummond's, that  will aid me
much, that is where Hooker in his catalogue has erred; [crossed out: and] [added: but]
he has only got down the lenght of the Rubiaceae.

I may mention that of [crossed out: Carex] [added: Rynchospoa [Rynchospora] I [crossed out: still want] have no more well
determined thanthose in Dr Gray's book and of them I still want for
my herbm. [herbarium] P. [Primula?] gracilenta, but I labour under great difficulty and 
have neither seen his memoir on that genus, nor yours on the other
Cyperaceae. As to Cyperus, taking up Sprengel, I see I want C.  [Cyperus] 
tenellus, filicinus, fasciculatus Ell. [Elliott], kyllingioides (crossed out: what] [added: but] the N. [North] American
one is probably C. mariscoides), C. filiculmis, C. flanescens, C. poiformis,
C. gracilis, C. fuscus, C. caespitosus, C. tetragonus, C. hydra, C. formosus, 
C. autumnalis, C. flavicomus, C. distans, C. speciosus, C. enslenii. 
As to Carex I  want C. blepharophl [blepharophora] Gray, C. sterilis, C. fraseri, 
C. willdenowii (unless one of Drummond's which I so call), C. polytrichoides,
C. filifolia, C. squarrosa, C. cephalophora, C. disperma,
C. muhlenbergii, C. sparganioides, C. floridana, C. setacea, C. paniculata, 
C. ovata, C. bicolor, C. deweyana, C. loliacea, C. trisperma, C. arida, 
C. foenea, C. cristata, C. festucacea, C. stellulata, C. [serifoides?], C. tenera,
C. remota, C. atrata, C. media, C. viridula, C. virescens (cum var. [costate?]), 
C.  buxbaumii, C. fuliginosa, [crossed out: C. [mitrata?], C. davisii, C. novae angliae, C. aurea,
C. vestita, C. dasycarpa, C. marginata, C. pubescens, C. oederi, C. tentaculata, 
C. nigra, C. lupulina, C. xanthophysa (unless one I so call from Drummond)
C. miliacea, C. pallescens, C. hystericina (of this I have no authentic specimen),
C. glaucescens Ell., C. elliottii, C. limosa, C. crinita gynandra, C. acuta, 
C. barrattii, C. verrucosa, C. filiformis, C. aristata, C. vesicaria, C. retrorsa, C. schweinitzii,
C. palustris, C. cherokensis [cherokeensis], C. longirostris.
