          reached in Ex. Exped. coll.


 I think Hooker (in Geyer's coll.) is wrong in
 uniting his B. [?] with B. ornata.
 But I am more troubled with the distinction
 between ornata & nuda. I have 2 forms
 or spec. besides B. ornata, one I cultivated from
 W. Texas last year.


 This year I have another small-flowered one.
 With your material I think I can get at
 them better.


 Thanks for your remembrance of Malva lecontii,
 Buckl, which I had forgotten all about .


 Right [plant?], the Calif. Pl. is Schweinitziae,
 & to see the embryo.  It probably is entire.
 It must be drawn of [crossed out] course.


 We will look after Fremontia-


 I think the almost outline drawings look
 best, clean & nicer than much shaded.
 But we will finish up more detailed if you
 like. Re-engrave the [?] [and?] new
 genus.


 Adieu for the present


 In haste thine


 Love to all
