          species with the genus 
 Cotyledon (or Echeveria) if I have 
 the right thing. Will you 
 be so kind as to examine 
 a flower of a genuine specimen 
 or of a Mex. Bound. [Mexican Boundary] specimen 
 and see how it is. The plant 
 has "scape [particularly?] branched"
 like Echevaria, all the other Cal. [California?]
 Sedums are [cymore?], in 
 short it seems to me a very 
 poor Sedum and a [good?]
 Echeveria in everything except 
 that it lacks the scales 
 at the base of the carpels.


 Yours truly
