          Dear Doctor


 You will see by the
 query I am about to propose 
 that I am beginning to lick up 
 the Cyperaceae.


 You place the little C. [Cyperus] tenellus
 in Cyperus proper, but then in 
 the character attribute to it a
 "style 2-cleft" and a "not much 
 compressed" Is this true, and 
 the species inadvertently left here
 instead of in � [section] Pycreus? If so, 
 these characters the [nevus?] to the [scale?]
 show that the species is different
 from the C. [Cyperus] tenellus as described
 by Kunth, and as the original C. [Cyperus]
 minimus of L. [Linn�] is some very obscure
 species, I have adopted your 
 name of C. [Cyperus] Cleaveri, & placed 
 it in � [section] Pycreus. Let me know,
 so that I shall not mak [make] an
 Egyptian Mummy of myself about 
 it. Your note in reply will
