          spec. [species] name esculenta is much 
 older for this than for the 
 Oregon species. So it is a pity 
 it should lose it. But if it 
 must Fraseri is evidently
 your name, as Fraser (1813)
 is earlier (Phalangium) than Gawler, 
 is it not? Yes! 


 But, if the irregularity of 
 perianth goes for nothing, why 
 not leave both in Scilla.
 What is to hinder this plant 
 from being a Scilla (esculenta)
 & the other S. [Scilla] Quamash.
 I speak with all deference
 as you should know. But 
 clearly, if you change specific 
 name Fraseri should take the 
 place of Gawleri. Fraser first 
 collected it, & published it in his Cat. [Catalogue]
