          C. gracillima of Schw. [Schwenitz] you think is C. digitalis, but C.
 digitalis has 1 staminate spike, C. gracillima has
 uniformly the terminal spikes androgynous.


 C. muricata. I am in trouble about this Carex & should
 like to be helped out. I doubt as to its growing in this
 region. Did not Linneus describe 2. plants under
 the name of C. muricata?. In some notes I took of Synonyms 
 sometime since, I find one to this effect, viz.
 C. muricata of Linn. in his Flor. Svevica [Flora Svecica] is C. stellulata
 of Wahl. [Wahlenberg] [added: & Schkuhr] & Lightf. [Lightfoot], in the Scott. Flor. [Flora scotica] has a C. spicata
 synonym of C. muricata Lin. & & he has C. muricata
 which is stellulata of Schkuhr, i.e. C. muricata of Linn.
 making out 2. C. muricutas in Lin. works.
 C. Stellulata of Schweinitz once [?] table is [added: I suppose] [?] Stellulata
 of Wahl & Light. & this has also for a synonym C. retroflower.
 I have supposed it very likely that C. Stellulata
 & C. muricata as [?] described may be one. But C. [Spergosentially?]
 Cape of C. Sperg. is winged  more distinctly
 [ciliate?] [?]. Scale broader & larger.


 I have just received a bundle from
 Dr. Jacob containing some fine spec. [specimens] of C. [pauciflora?]
 he says he has sent some to you very recently. He
 sent also C. Lenticularis [?] C. [Dybindricu?] Schoss. growing 
 in that vicinity.


 C. [Hovianglica?] Schoss. Respecting this plant some
 cautions I think should be used [crossed out: illegible]. I think the
 history of it shows that it ought not to [added: be] published
 as a new species in any standard work [added: at present.] Prof.
 D. & myself found it on Saddle Mt. in the summer
 of 1823. We found it only in one place at
