          If distinct, it will of course carry the name Angustifolium.


 I believe you have not V. [Vaccinium] caespitosum Hook in New York.
 You see Boott has a quiddity about that. 


 You will indeed have trouble with the V. [Vaccinium] corymbosum
 group; but you have the means of saying what the 
 original V. [Vaccinium] corymbosum Linn. [Linnaeus] is; and then the 
 principal question is whether the downy-leaved & 
 black-fruited one is a distinct species or no. 


 Pray manage this so as not to commit the 
 Flora on that point (or at least leave it open). 
 And for all the rest of Ericaceae pray do, as you will 
 have to do beyond, work out your views as well as you 
 can, but do not commit the Flora by citing it ahead. 


 Your remarks on Chiogenes (12th March) all go to

 The parcel, whose arrival is announced in your P.S. [Post Scriptum]
 was announced by me in my letter to Mrs. T. [Torrey] 
 Has my later letter to Mrs. T. [Torrey] (mailed last Tuesday 
 or Wednesday) on a sheet of paper like this, come to hand.


 The Steamer has just brought me a letter from 
 Hooker. He states that he has written to you, by the 
 same mail. (By the way you have still my 
 letter from Joe Hooker.) (I received a day or two since 
 your bundle containing the Botanical Illustrations. 


 As to Buckley, Pamphlin writes:
 "Buckley's plants, I am sorry to say, do not please. 
 I told you before I had sold one set. Mr. Fielding has 
 one now on inspection, but I do not think he will 
 keep it." But I have a letter from Fielding, 
 (to whom I recommend these plants) who says 
 "Pamphlin will send me one of Buckley's collections
 to look at, but he says, as you do that they are 
 poor specimens. Still if they contain any number 
 of species new to me I shall [added: certainly] retain them."
