well [added: at] the base; & the [pist.?] scales

the staminate.

Will you pretty soon, let me
have your opinion & decision.
If I have not followed the form,
you spoke of, I have not designed to
err from it, & you will make the
slight needed change, I trust.

I wish a specimen of C. Geyeri,
Boott, which you may be able to
spare; if not, well.

I inclose specimens of C. Nuttallii
from Nebraska Ter.; for comparison
as you have all the authentic specimens,
& may like to put these in
your Herbarium, if they are the
same. Please compare!!! &
let me know.

I send also C. Nebrascensis,
& C. Haydenii D. &
C. [lacoiconica?] D., so unlike
C. utriculata Boott, if he still
holds it to be our C. ampullacea.
