          I collected a number of specimens of both, the
 other day, with a view of sending them to him
 if opportunity should offer.  As I have some to
 spare, I have herewith sent you a specimen
 or two of each- merely to show, for your own
 satisfaction, what are intended by those names,
 in my Flora.  While speaking of Eurphorbias,
 I may remark that the species of which I
 formerly sent you specimens & a drawing - and
 which I have called E. nemoralis, in flora [illegible];
 is now to be considered unquestionable a native;
 about which, you may recollect, you formerly had some
 doubts.  Mr. Curtis sent me a specimen of it
 from N. Carolina - where he says it is undoubtedly
 native.  As no one to whom I have shown
 it, seems to know it, I think it must be
 a non descript - prior to my notice of it.  If it
 be a new species, however, my name will
 have to be changed; for I observed that [illegible]
 has named a species nemoralis, - as appears
 by Stendal's Nomenclatur.  If you & Dr. Gray should
 be satisified that it is a new native species, you
 will please to bear this circumstance in 
 mind, when you come to describe it - & give it
 another specific name.  When will your report
 on New York Botany be out?  I am impatient to
 see it.  In haste, but very truly yours,
                                   Wm Darlington
