          No. 14 It is not the decidua, Boott
sent you; but compare with his description,
& judge. If you say it is
his decidua, cut off all below those
lines. If you say it is new, then you
have a full description, to which you
will please prefix rhe name you see,
& the description of it is done.

No. 15. Is a curious thing: I name it
from its locality, Santa Barbara;
it is not C. Dorvinii Boott, not
C. olivacea Boott, not any one I
have. Scale so clearly mucronate.

No. 16. Is nore curious still, more
like Darwinii & olivacea, but
far away from them.

No. 17. You will see is not C. Geyeri
Boott, but is C. phyllostachys,
Meyer.

No. 19. I hope you know & have
it; but no book talks of it.

No. 21. It seems as if I had seen
this as well as [14/19?], but it is not
to be found, as it seems to me.

Of the specimens of C. decdidua?, you
will see one spike all staminate; one
first, at the base; & another, stam. for
the greater part, but having pistils
