          You speak of a folio Vol of Icon. Rariorum
Perhaps none of my discoveries are worthy a place in
such a work -- The little Spigelia is a nice thing -- The
Grindelia alba interesting, & then there is the Baptisia mey. [?]
& B. Lecontii [Brachycybe], Styllingia [Stillingia] acuminata, Myrica obovata, & the three
species of Diplopappus & if you go into the Gramin [Graminaceae? Graminoids?] & Cyp [Cyperaceae or Cyperoids?]
there is Leersia hex and. [Leersia hexandra Sw.] Poa (Festuca's) pallida, Rottbollia cylind. [Rottboellia cylindrica], 
Kyllingia sesq. [Kyllinga sesquiflora Torr.], Cephaloaschoenus[?]        Anon [?] paucifolia, Psilocarey rhyco [Psilocarya rhynchosporoides Torr.?]
& two or three sp of Rhyncosp. [Rhynchospora?].  The Adiantum I propose to 
call A. dependens  But the Pteris as it is so variable
in its outline has tasked me for a character which is 
permanent    Pherhaps [sic] P. Aspalogensis (if that is good Latin)
would suit it   It has never been found elsewhere and one
would ransack the world in vain for another such place
as Aspalaga, Mich. [?] has local nmes Rhododendron Catawb. [Rhododendron catawbiense]
& there is a Lilium Philadelph. & Carex Washingtoniana

The Flora will of course include the Ferns but I forgot 
to inquire if it would embrace the other Orders of  Crypt.

I received the Granada plants in good condition with 
the nos. of the Flora -- I found some ripe seed in the 
specimens and am trying to cultivate them   I fear I
shall not succeed.  The Torreya is growing vigorously in
my yard -- A very appropriate memorial of Mr. Croom
who planted these.  I found the Poa nervata !! in a 
spring head in Jackson GA. & I can perceive no
difference in a fragment of Rhododendron catawbiense
from the Mts of No. Ga. & our plant from the flat
pine barrens!  I have lived in this Florida nearly six
years & I have not begun to find her out yet

The Croomia also grows near Irwinton, Ala. & I have
seen it on the banks of the Flint in Ga.  Some of the
troops that went from this Co told me that they [added:saw the]
Torreya south of the Suannee [Suwannee?] ! that in riding along
