          Buhler's Plains (Small prairies) ^ [added: Parish of] East Baton Rouge - and East Feliciana _.
 In seed during the present month _ in genral appearance it is between
 D. Compressa and D Sanguinalis (the large one, of this region). but has no real
 affinity with either or with D. paspaloids [paspalodes] which grows abundantly in the same
 local _ _ _ _ 4th. Andropogon gracilis (Carpenter Mss Synops.)) It agrees  generally
 with A. Virginica, but has a hair like invol. as in [Eiranthem?], [there?] also other
 peculiarities - about prairies Feliciana _ _ Also a var of the same
 from Pine Woods Filiciana _ _ Besides Onoclea sensibilis [added: 1] & obtusiloba -
 I have found another var of the same sps. which I have called O.[added:6] [Onoclea] repanda
 (ms. synops) ^ [added: division of the] Leaves repand on the edge, some times, repandly Sinnate (but never
 so as to be lobed) -  Besides the ordinary form of Tradescantia vir =
 =ginica , I found here two var's which I have named T. virginnea
 vary (pubescens [added: 7] & gracilis [added: 8] missynops) These two vay [may] probably consti
 -tute the T. virg. var, pilosa [of?] Lehan. ([ind. Sem. Last. Lamb.?]) _ _ G. Rosa. Fein=
 =turicrii (Carpenter Synops. Ms.) Stem glabrous, prickly, climbing over small shrubs,
 smaller branches have stout recurved prickles at the base of most of
 the petioles, and a few small ones scattered irregularly _ petioles gland=
 =ularly hispid, generally aculeate; leaflets generally 3 or 5, ovate, acute,
 acutely and sometimes doubly serrate , glabrous, pale [/beneath?] _ Fls. in small
 terminal corymbs _ Calyx pubescent; segments lance-ovate or lanceolate;
 petals obcordate, pale red _ Fruit nearly globular, with [peduncles?] glandularly
 hispid - Bellevue Prairies & woods, Opelousas _ _ This was sent in
 my 1st or 2nd parcel, and you thought it was a var of lavigata
 or new - it is not like the R. lavigata at all, when growing -
 10_ Saurus Carolinianus besides the 3 vars of][Elct?] I have a remarkable
 one, which I have called, Var rigida (Synopsis Ms) _ Lvs/. perenial, long,
 narrow _ lanceolate, corcacious, rigid, glabrous & shin_ing above, glaucous beneath _
 - Fls yellowish White with a greenish tinge; very obovate, black with a glau-
 -cous hue, generally one or two, on a dark brown peduncle 1 1/2 or 2 inches
 long _ Tree 20 or 25 ft. high, erect Slender and crooked, with a few crooked
 branches near the top, Which have lvs & frt. only at their extremities. -
 the lvs are alternate ^ [added: stiffly] [?], give a peculiar rigid appearance to the
 top of the tree _ _    The young branches, peduncles & [?] are
