          and Dr Hayden hsd done
so that I have now a pretty
complete set of Rocky Mountain
Pines (of California ones I
have next to none).

New doubts arise about some
of the species.

This little group of nutpines
requires revision. My brother
has brought your P. monophyllos
from the mountains about Salt Lake.
I think it is different from P. edulis,
but as at present informed, I am
inclined to the believe that your
P. llaveana is not Shiede's plant,
which has 3 leaves in a sheath, nor is
Dr Newberry correct in [referring?] his pine
to P. cembroides.

I guess - and it is mere guess-work
so far in that they might be
arranged thus:

1. Pinus monophyllos Torr & [Frem?] 1 leaf
2 P. edulis Eng 2 leaves
3. P. cembroides [?] 3 leaves
syn. P. llaveana Shielde
P. osteosperma Eng.
4. P. torryi (P. llaveana Torr non
Schiede) 5 leaves
P. llaveana & P. cembroides are described in the [?] works
with usually 3 leaves!
