    Recd July 15th


                                        Sir


                                               Your very interesting letter
 the 27th May was duly recd.  I am very glad
 to hear that some of the plants were acceptable.
    The Prernanthes crepidinea is a rare plant here,
 but I will endeavor to send you some more &
 better specimens. The Sedum telephoides is
 abundant in one locality about 13 miles from
 this place, and I shall collect more specimens
 of it when in flower. - With respect to the
 [Liria cordata?] of Aug. 2nd I have either list the
 label or sent you the original without taking
 a copy.  Will you send me a copy of the label.
    I am not mistaken as the to the (Gan..?' place
 [?] with yellow pls. - In our locality where
 the plant is abundant I have examined many
 when the pls were expanded, they do not appear
 to differ from those with blue pls. except in the
 color of the plants which is a paler and more dull
 yellow than those of [?] [Lacteria?] elongata.  I
 am now however well aware that yellow & blue flowers
 are extremely rare in the same species.
    The [Srmilux?] I think is distinct from the cadura.
