          splendid caricature of his
own named plant. I can not
believe it. If the so called R. I.
bullata is in Schk.'s Herbarium,
it must have been put in after
his fig. was delimited. Then, if
Schk.'s bullata fig, is right, both
ought not to be called by the
same name. [added: Carey is right too, in
saying C. cylindrica Schw. is not C. bullata.]

Some months ago I wrote
a description of C. concolor from
the specimens, & the other day I
wrote one of C. lenticularis of
Boott, before I read the one you sent.
Soon as I saw this, I was sure it is
C. concolor. On reading the two
descriptions, they are so alike that
the plants can not be different. I
am amazed & delighted at their more
than similarity. Boott's figs. are
from the Bear lake specimens, &
agree well enough with Mx.' description.

But, I can not say the White
Mts. specimens agree well enough with
either the characters or figs. of Boott.
