Dear Doctor

I have have been waiting for a moment's
leisure to make a note or two on your
appx. to Emory's Report. I make a note or
so this morning.

"Clematis virginiana,  Raton Mt." = C. ligusticifolia.
I remember it in your herbarium.

[crossed out: "[Malva predata" Are you sure that this is the plant from
the upper part of the Arkansas.]

"Malva pedata" = [?] (Sida. James) macrorhiza,
very difft from M. pedata , which, when I last saw,
was not in your herbarium. I have it now from Texas & in cult.
"Mentzelia pumila" = Bartonia multiflora, Nutt. in
Pl. Gamb., but too close to M. pumila, I suspect.

"[?] sinuata." cannot well be said to be
admirably illustrated by Fendl. when he figured it with
a small embryo in copious albumen, and got all wrong
about its affinities till set right by the Flora
"[Frankina hookeriana?]"  should have the Antrodia acanthocarpa
under it as a syn.

"Dicoris." Why did you not give a character?
"[Nycthia?] orata". Please compare with the with the pl. of Fremont
which I have reported as W. helenioides. I suspect
they are the same.

"[Nulfia?]"? ([Nulffia?]") I suppose is Heliomeris. Nutt. Pl. Gamb.
[?] & Polydymia from the desc. should be distinct.

But specially do I want to speak of
