          We are too late to send a critique on Mulder to 
 the New Haven meeting. It must pass for the 
 present. I have too much else to do. 


 If you will send me specimens of 
 Obolaria, I will study and figure it.


 It is fine to get Cowania so far north: but 
 is it the Mexican species (which I have from Hartweg)
 or another; as in Cercocarpus? 


 How glad I shall be to have Lenisia, and 
 the bulbs. Andromeda floribunda has flowered 
 most beautifully in the greenhouse. 


 Downing writes me, wishing me to finish him 
 with a set of a hundfred or two of Common U.
 S. plants, New York plants, for a little herbm [herbarium]
 for a friend. A musttell him that I cannot.
 I am too much occupied. But there is a good chance 
 to dispose of a set of those Eliza collected two 
 years ago, if still on hand. Shall I tell 
 him to apply to you, or not? 


 As to the curious plant of which yours 
 of the 28th contained a flower & [seed?]. I should have 
 said (from your account & drawing, I have not yet 
 examined it) [crossed out: Crenulobus?] it was Crucif. [Cruciferous?] & near 
 [Crenulobus] (one of those figd [figured] in Hook. [Hooker] Le. Pl. 
 has radicle between accumbent and incumbent)
 and Dithrea [Dithyrea], Harvey in Lond. Jour Bot [London Journal of Botany] for Feby. [February]
