          You say that [added: my] Stachys hispida "seems to be Elliott's plant," but
 is not of Ph. also; & the S. aspera, Mich? -- -- -- Dont [Don't] think
 that I am going to follow Eaton, because I use his names.
 His Manual [manual?] is the only portable work I have, & I am often
 obliged to use it. -- -- Orchis (aa), which you call D. truncata,
 I had referred to D. tridentats. -- Asarum (aa) has [underlined: has] coriaceous
 leaves, but have become flaccid by drying; [:?] I thought it 
 might [underlined: might] be A. virg: & therefore sent it to you for determination.
 -- Denothera (aa) I had referred to Bambigua [Bambigua?], N. as
 I have mentioned in a late letter, I think, but can it be
 Ae [Ae?]. fruticosa? -- Rhododendron Catawbiense must be
 right. I ahve collected it (sine fl [sine fl?].) on Mich.s locality.


 I am sorry I have lost my Silene. I ahd been over Prish [Prish?]
 carefully, I thought, but could not make it out,
 vaccinium erythrocarpum must be a true vaccinium I
 think. I know of nothing except its left corolla which
 could separate it, & that cannot be enough to make
 a genus. "Melanthium hybridum" is the same (I think) with
 the specimen in Herb. Ell. which does not differ as I can
 discover from his specimen of M. virgin:


 "Hamamelis" which I sent is very different from a specimen
 of H. macrophylla in Herb. Ell! -- Have you not made
 a mistake about Carex tabularia [tabularia?]? The fruit & scale is
 very different from C gracillima, if i recollect. Is it not nearer
 to C. formosa [underlined: formosa]? The Ammania which has been the subject
 of consideration so long, I have been all along disposed
 to make a new genus of, & to call it Hypobrychia [Hypotrichia?] [underlined: Hypobrychia].
 As Arnott, however, has made several sections in
 Ammania it might be wellenough to make a new
 one out of this plant. If Dr. Gray had not been working
 upon it with others of the order, I should have published
