          and often conspicuously, than the books will admit.  But you
will see all the results of my studies on this family in a few weeks,
in Dr. W's Report.

In Cuscutae I have done nothing lately.  Dr. W. has not collected
any, but Fendler has brought your C. embellata in five
specimens from Sante Fe!

I should have liked to submit my paper on Dr. W's plants
to you or to Prof Gray, but every thing was so much hurried
that I had not finished it, before [the?] [Dr?] left here. I have
no doubt that many of my new things are not new to other
botanists! But having compared [Leuconts?] Report, I was
aware of the proximity of Wislizenia and Oxystylis, but
considered them distinct on account of the long stipe of the
ovary and other characters mentioned by me; but that may not
be sufficient to distinguish them. Another new genus, which
I described in that letter to Dr. Gray, Bilobium, I have discovered
only a few days ago to be almost identical with Harvey's
California Dithyrea.  Singular enough it is that Dr. W.
has found also an Eriogonum very near your E. inflatum
but probably sufficiently distinguished, and  very remarkable
for an Eriogonum, with dark flowers.

Dr. W has collected few or no duplicates, but I can
spare now and then a branch, and will send you one
of Oxystylis or Wislizenia; I hope however to cultivate
it, as I have ripe seeds, and can then send better ones.
NB. that Bilobium must be your Iberis sp? [?in][?] plants.
if I judge rightly. [No  but Geyer [?] [?]!)
