          and the seeds of the [illegible] spike apparently mature
 projecting beyond the [illegible]. I have another
 very singular plant (to me) of which I cannot
 determine even the Nat. Ord. to which it belongs.
 [Illegible] perpendicular subecose [radiches?] [verticulate?]
 stem 12 to 24 in. high, [sh?], with large - [Los. opp?]
 [lonculata?] very [un..?] vein  2 1/2 to 3 in. longer
 [acid to the ?] - Axils [bulbi..?], bulbs or
 buds, red 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch in length, visibly [?]
 not a vestige of pls. or fruit. - [?] Sept. 15-38
 in a shady marshy place fed by cold springs,
 Can you tell me what it is?


 I have nothing of value to contribute to the
 [Legumin...?] The following plants are found
 in this vicinity which are not contained in
 [Riddels Sym?] of western plants - [Lespidera se..?]
 $ [Muttalic ? ] [Luthyrus pilustris?] & Galactia pilosa


 The Galactia very rare, in our place only in the
 barrens.  - Your [Boralia latifolia?] I have found
 in two localities, one near this place and the other
 on the barrens.


 Will you send me a description and the name of
 the [Carex?] you had from me.  I have collected a few
 more specimens from another locality. It much
 resembles some forms of the [vul...?] (stip. M.)
 but [favors?] later.
