admits spikes wholly staminate
from the Rocky Mts.; what does
he say it is not dioccious, for?

But, enough. Thanks again.

You see by the Manual
that C. vitilis Fries, is C. Persoonii,
as I had shown, & is an older name
than C. tenella Schk., & must stand,
so that C. tenella Schk. goes out, &
C. disperma stands. C. [spacrosstachya?]
D. is then C. tenella Shck.
as well as C. Persoonii. I had just
come to the right of C. sphacrostachya
as C. tenella Shck., when I
found it confirmed by Carey in
the manual. Why then did he,
on the same page, call C. disperma,
C. tenella? It is curious to
see it.
