          which is now probably at Sea. - I did not get your last in time to
make any corrections, & I fear you will not be so much interested 
in them as in those which you have already examined. The Box contains
360 numbers, many of which are badly preerved & most
if not all you have probably in your Herbarium.

I have now in pressseveral which are new to me, among which
Ludwigia capitata & sphaerocarpa, Scleria gracilis, vera! in fruit,
Habenaria michauxii, Rottboellia rugosa, (Nutt.) Aster discoidea, (Ell.)
& a [illeg: Xranichis], which I found the other day in the Pine woods near
this place. Root concatenated tubers. Scape 2-5 ft. high, clothed with
[illeg: maXcipent] sheaths, supporting at the summit about 6 yet-low
flowers, which approach nearer the Liliaceae in structure
than any plant of this Order that I have seen. Lip not different
from the other petals. - Column thick. Leaves one or more, proceeding
from the same tuber with the scape, but unconnected 
with it & surmounted at the base by separate sheaths, lanceolate,
almost filiform, of the length of the [?Germ] & flower, & in one of my
specimens (I have but two) the flowers are so compact,that they
are united & surroumd tow flowers. I have thought is might be C. pauciflora
of Jamaica refered to by Elliott II. p. 403.
I have not seen the C. multiflora Ell. I am exceedingly interested
in the plants of this family, &, althoug I would not wish to dictate,
if you should have the kindness to send me plants, either by Mr. Croom
or via St. Marks, & should have any of those enumerated below to 
spare, I should receive them most thankfully. Orchis spect. obsol. vires. hyper.
obtus. rotund, viridis [spectabilis, obsoleta, virens, hyperborea, obtusa, rotundundifolia, viridis]
Habenaria integ. huron. bract. macrophyl. grandifl. repens.[integra, huronensis, bractata, macrophylla, grandiflora, repens].
[? Googera] repens Listera conval. cord. pub.  [convallarioides, cordata, pubescens].
[?Antheria] bulb. [?Anthericum bulbosum]. Corallorhiza multiflora
