 You say Chirogenes will only differ from Vaccinium
 (including Oxycoccus) by [bibrachulate?] Calyx. But the 
 Vaccinia of the Vitis-Idra section have this char. [character]
 (or at least brachiolate pedicels which is the same 
 thing. But I say the anthers are different; 
 2-cuspidate (not with a tubular [horn?]): in 
 fact the genus in habit [habitat?] & char. [character] is just Pernettya 
 with an adherent calyx .

 good for nothing: and I cannot, and must not
 think of any thing but my task. The two
