          of which I should be much obliged to you [added: I hve from two sources]. I have several umbelliferce
 among which a Deweya and, I believe a new omorrhiza [mycorrhiza?]
 which I will send you, if your visit to Philadelphia
 is [crossed out: not] too remote. I have also a new monolopia, which
 Dr Gray considers as a variety of Bentham's palemifolia;
 but I cannot agree with him - there is nothing of hale
 mifolia in it, the leaves are all [added: all!] 5 -7 parted, with linear
 divisions. It corresponds better with the species M. minor;
 but I think it new. Please to send me a leaf of Arbutus glanca
 for comparison. I forgot to ask Dr Gray for his description
 of [written above: his] Azulea Californica, I have it. A small dodecatheon
 with ovate leaves, 4 or 5 inch. high puzzels me, You
 have the same, Dr Gray tells me. I regret much that
 Acerata Cordifolia be the same as my new asclepius.
 which I have not stuided as yet. I have also a Frasera
 which is not quite albicanlis; but very near. &c &c
 oh! I want very much to see you &c I would give any
 thing to have Plantae Hartwegianae for a day or two
 Dr Gray has written for one copy for me. How
 desirable a complete U. S. [United States] flora is now! when shall 
 we have it?


 I stop here, my dear sir, with the assurance
 of my regard and thanks for the attention you are
 good enough to show me.


 Very respectfully Your humble servt [servant] E. [Elias] Durand
