          Thermopsis Caroliniana [now Thermopsis villosa];- T. fraxinifolia (Baptisia mollis
 Nutt.: & Torr. & Gray);- Hypericum Buckleii (H. Dowellianum
 in my mss. sent to you a year or two since);- Helianthus
 Dowellianus [now Helianthus occidentalis];- Lindernia saxicola [now Lindernia monticola];- & Vaccinium ursinum [now Gaylussacia ursina].
 These are all I can think of, which [Samuel Botsford] Buckley has. I have also described Baptisia mollis, Mich. [now Thermopsis mollis] I mention these, so that
 Buckley can include them in his pamphlet, if he wishes.
 I suppose he does not wish to get them away from me.


 You offer to give me your opinion of Buckley's plants
 in advance of his pamphlet if I desire it. If his pamphlet
 will appear soon, that trouble will be unneccesary; but
 if not, I should like your decision upon two speces of Andromeda,
 & two of Vaccinium, which he has, & of a Senecio,
 allied to S. Canadensis. One Andromeda is allied to A. racemosa;
 the other I have had several years from S. Carolina, &
 it certainly is described in no book which I have. I had half
 a mind to describe it in my paper, but I thought it likely
 that [Thomas] Nuttall might have picked it up somewhere, & if
 not, that you & [Asa] Gray would soon describe it from Buckley's
 specimens. When Buckley was with me I hastily called it
 A. ferruginea, confounding it in haste with a plant
 which I knew perfectly well. 


 Borya distichophylla [now Buckleya distichophylla] I soon recognized, & after examination
 I found it to be no Borya, but proceeded no farther
 in the matter. I am glad that Buckley has abundant material
 for settling its character. Do you recollect the
 fragment of a shrub which I sent you a few years
 since ( & since returned) which I labelled "Pinnata"?
 The leaves were not pinnate but opposite on opposite
 short branches, ovate, entire, 2 in. long & one or more
 wide. It occurs to me that it may be another
