          for C. oligocarpa, but think I can and the latter.
As I had not Muhlenburgh [Muhlenberg?] when I examined those
plants, I did not distinguish them as I now do.
Perhaps, indeed, I yet mistake - but the plants differ
much. I can hardly believe in some of your names
of the Carices - but intend to examine them when
[?] before I really think you can be wrong.
What better proof have we that a plants grows here,
than the existence of one, which answers to C. flava?
Yet, if you have the true flava, we may well
doubt, & [even?] [deny?].

I have opinions of a
grass, which I did not send you. It seems to be an
Oryzopsis - answers prety well to O. melanocarpa 
but fruit I suspect is not black. It can hardly be
O. asperifolia. By the way are these two the same?
It flowers entirely out of time for either of them.
Inclosed I send a specimen. Perhaps it is a
new one of the genus - perhaps I mistake the
genus. I have not examined grasses enough,
to find them out with any ease, & often think
I never shall.

By the way I sent you, Eriophorum
cyperinum, & also what seemed to me

are synonyms in Muh - but difft. plants.
What do you call the latter?

I have some cryptogamia for you, but I
do not look at them. I have no facilities for
studying them, & less time - but I shall
