          3-celled, 3-valved. Valves opening by transverse fissures near the base
 & turning upwards. Seeds oblog. - Flowers September -
 In its appearance it differes so much from the T. coerulea & capitata [Tripterella capitata Michx. ] both of
 which I have that perhaps it does not belong to this genus.


 I have akso an undescrobed species of Stillingia which I found in the
 ponds near St. Marks - It resembles the S. sylvestris somehat with smaller
 silvery seeds, 6 ft. high, - Leaves exactly lanceolate - Duration herbaceous?


 In the bogs between Tallahassee & this place I met with a plant apparently
 belonging to the Scrophularia with pinnatifid leaves & cylindrical, crimson
 flowers. I find no mention of it in the Books.


 I conclude to remain here for the present & you can direct 
 your letters as before -- A Brother of Mr Croom arrived
 yesterday & he himself is expected soon - I shall be happy
 in his acquaintance since men of intelligence particularly
 as far as botany is concerned are rare commodities
 here - Dr. Alexander is now connected with the Medical
 Inst. at Pittsfield Mass. - does not expect to retun South
 Perhaps he will settle in this or some other Western State
 I will just give a list of the plants which I have met with Since 
 I forwarded the Box by way of "reporting progress"
