          volumes of Gramin. & Cyperac. [Gramineae and Cyperaceae] and also his Monograph on Rhynch. [Rynchospora]
I scarcely need say that I was pleased and instructed thereby.
At numbers 29 & 30, (& at 18) of the Monograph it appears
to me that an oversight has been committed in using the word
'longini" instead of "longinibus". At numbers 21 & 29, "nucem"
is printed for "nuce". Is not the expression that one thing
is "twice or four times shorter" than another rather awkward?
See No. 14 of the Monograph. I percieve however the great convenience, 
in this case, of [added: the] word breviore.

In the list which you gave me of the plants sent you from 
New Bern, you ask if my "Andromeda paniculata" is not
rather A. floribunda? I think not. I doubt if that plant has
been lately found. I saw the other day with Dr. Wray at 
Augusta an authentic specimen of it sent to him from
London! by the Messrs. Loddiges, and which was derived from 
the plants originally sent over by Lyon. In this specimen the younger
leaves are pubescent on the under surface and distinctly ciliate!
See Elliott & Pursh.

Dr. Chapman will send an Andromeda which I found in flower!
the other day, which he had previously obtained and I believe sent
to you with the capsules of last year. It maybe new, for it does not
seem to me to agree with any of the described species though it approaches
perhaps to A. calyculata- stem 1-2 feet high, branching; leaves perennial, 
cuncate-obovate, obtuse, serrulate, margins resolute, 
under side glandularly pilose? (as well as the calyx and peduncles)
divisions of the calyx acute, two acue bracts on each peduncle, 
flowers in short axillary? racemes, anthers with two
very remarkable awns.

The plant which I sent you from New Bern as Peucedanum ternatum
has always appeared to me to be Nuttall's plant of that name, but 
perhaps it does not belong to that genus. It had not matured
its fruit when I left New Bern, but I hope to obtain it in fruit
next October when I shall remain later than I did this year.
