 specimen of C. caespitosa [Carex cespitosa] in Herb Lin [Herbarium Linné]

 as he confounded C. stricta Good. [Carex stricta Goodenough] with it
 We must call Goodenoughs species (C.
 stricta [Carex stricta]) C . caespitosa L [Carex cespitosa Linné] & adopt Gays


 name of Goodenouwii [Carex goodenoughii] for the other, since you
 cannot throw aside Lamarcks C. stricta [Carex stricta].
 You know that Greene has  found C. fulva [Carex fulva]
 at [Teenksburg?], & and also C. laevigata [Carex laevigata] near Boston.


 God bless you & Gray & Carey.
