          Now as to Rhus [loricaulis?].


 The St. Fe plant agrees with your character 
 as to the "calyx much shorter than petals" - & it has
 smaller leaves. But one of my specimens from W
 New York (of which I inclose flowers) has a calyx
 nearly equally short.


 Is not the difference
 in this and the anthers one of subdioeciousness?
 And therefore are you sufficiently sure of your
 [Oregon?] species? All my specimens have the
 [thyreus?] pedunculate - about equally.


 Yours ever


 AGray
