          lying without names in my herbarium. Of 
your 6 Alpestris-Davisii Dewey you say in annals of 
Lyceum "spicâ infirmì radicali longissime pedunculata["]
whereas I have never been able to find such long radical
peduncle either in the plants you have sent me or
in those which I had gathered & suspected to be
Davisii - is Dewey's aquatitis a good species?
I have a small package for you wich I shall
send on by Mr. Quimby in which there are 3 or 4
Charleston Carices which I should like to have your
names for & two or three of the plants of this
neighborhood with queries appened[appended?] also 3 or 4
Scotch plants which I lately recd.[received] from my brother
& thought it possible you might like the
whole amounts to very little.

I should have written you earlier but at the 
time I recd.[received] your letter I was very much engaged
with my father who was then lying very sick of
an illness which shortly after proved his last
since then I have been in various was prevented
but remain ever

very sincerely yr[your] friend BD Greene
