          P.S.  Our other inquiry I intended  to make, & merely forgot, what
 terms do you prefer, for the floral [envelopes?] of the Grasses? Are there
 any better ones than [Gl....& P..?] - as used by [Beauvois?, Lindley & Beck?
 These do very well - except that, to mere English scholars, the plural
 form of the word Palea is not very distinct, in conversation; & I fear
 will not work very well in practice.  Yet I know of nothing better
 which has been sanctioned by good authority.  If you can suggest
 any recognized term, better than Palea, I would be pleased to hear it.
