          it in Herb. Ell. from N.C. by Schweinitz [Schweinitz?], labelled Scirpus
 lineatus! & another spec: from the same, labelled S. exaltatus! 
 -- I also saw in Herb. Ell. a plant labelled Scirpus
 submersus by Ell, agreeing exactly with a specimen
 from Mass. [Mass?] labelled by Torrey S. subterminalis. Where
 Ell's spec. was from did not appear. -- By the way, is 
 not Scirpus nitens, vahl, a species of Psilocarya?


 I am disposed to believe that [?] squar: Mx. is a 
 perfectly distinct plant from your vard [vard?] -- I have examined 
 it so often in this State, in every stage of growth,
 & find it so uniform in its characters, year after year,
 that I cannot but believe it is perfectly distinct.


 Do you not make too much of the color of the 
 seed in Cyperaceae? -- -- -- I ahve been looking 
 at Phleum pratense, Ell! (of which I have a spec: from
 Sullivan's Isd. [Isd?]) & find it nearer a Phleum than I at first
 supposed. It must be Polypogon Monspeliense [Monspeliensis], or some
 species closely allied. -- Panicum (45) which I sent you
 is P. scoparium, Ell, only mine is more hispid. -- Panic: (aa [aa?])
 is P. multiflorum, Ell. -- In regard to Trillium newosum [newsum],
 Ell. it agreed as near as I could recollect [underlined: recollect] with
 my specimens of T [T?]. stylosum N. collected in this State.
 I could not, of course, dissect Ell's specimens to see the
 style of this plant, but a specimen is in the Herb. from
 some correspondent, agreeing essentially with Ell's spec:
 on the label of which is written -- "monandrous". I think 
 therefore that there are the same. Ell's descriptions are
 not always good [underlined: always good]. -- you will however see all these
 things for yourself, I hope.


 In the Box of plants I enclose a sheet iwth some remarks
 on the plants sent to Hooker. My means for working out
 plants are very limited & I have left some owrk for you.
