          C. stenolepis, if the spikes were not many flowered.

Our Eleocharis acicularis has certainly terete stems
and base stoloniferous, and creeping; nut half as large
as the euoprean E. acicularis; but stem stouter; spike
many flowered

I find here with the common form of [T?] autumnalis
one with base of the style persistent ! No4

Scirpus debilis ? spikes elongated, nut deeply rugose,
no setae No 5.

Scirpus lacustris, distinct from the Europe plant -
styles two, not three, nut not half as large.

Our Scirpus pungens does not appear to be the
same as Sc. trigueter, which I have collected on the banks
of the Rhine, which has an effuse panicle etc.

Asclepias lindheimeri has been thriving very well
with me, but the flowerbuds always fell off, before
coming to perfection. I shall send a tube to Dr Gray
perhaps he will succeed better.

I have letters from Mr Lindheimer till August.
He appears to have found many new things. He is
botanizing west of the Guadaloupe river,
from San Antonio.

By the next opportunity I shall send you
specimens of those Cyperaceae and a few other
plants, that might interest you.

Very respectfully

yours

George Englemann
