Dear Dr. Johnstons- 
On the 1st. I sen^to the Gray Herbarium a number of plants for 
comparrison. ALL of these were in relation to plants I already have 
for the Exsiccatae Grayanae or needed infromation for future sets. 
In the case of three I held back the notes until I could get them in 
proper shape. To do this it has been necessary to make several trips 
to the Los Angeles Museum or to Pomona. 
I am inclosing notes in regard to three of these. You kindly 
offered to look into anything which I wished you to take up personally. 
As you have been workinb with Astragalus I would appreciate it if 
you would look after these. I have Grayanae sets of all three and all 
three are of interest no matter what is decided about them. All three 
were collected in 1935 and because they seemed different were studied 
in the field last year, collected in quantity and compared with all 
available literature and specimens. I hope that you won’t think that 
I have gone too much into detail with 5518. Just consider the notes 
in regard to these as presenting one side of the question. I am lookigg 
at everything there critically whith the hope of finding ^novelty. If 
it is not I won't hesitate to drop it. If it should prove to be worth 
while I want the type material to be distributed through the Exsiccatae. 
I have been looking forward to the return of the Borages* It 
is time to collect the silky form of C. oxygana but I would like to 
see material that you have examined. 
Very truly yours. 
P. S. Will you kindly ket me know the exact type locality
