          Dear Sir,
      I send you a couple of plants which Dr.
 Pickering thinks are new.  They were collected by my
 son, J. Lacey Darlington, in 1835, in Michigan.  If you know
 them, I should like to hear their name & history: if they
 are really non-descript, I thought you might 
 like to see them, & take some account of them
 for your proposed flora.  They are all the 
 specimens I have, - otherwise I would gladly let
 you have them.  As it is, I must ask the
 favor of you to return them, when you have
 made such use of them as you may wish.
 The Mimulus seem to me a remarkable
 one.  The Lonicera, also appears to be ne to
 me - but I think comes nearest L. parviflora.


      In the same parcel I have sent some
 specimens of Stellaria uliginosa for Dr. Gray,
 which you will please hand to him.  I [?]
 forwarded it with S. borealis in my Flora; but
 on a re-examination I  to think with
 Dr. Gray that it is distinct from S. borealis, &
 probably identical with S. uliginosa of Europe.


                                           Yours truly,


  West Chester Pa             Wm. Darlington
 March 27. 1838
