          Mem. [Memorandum] for Dr. Torrey.


 Saturday Boston.


 The Feby [February] no. [number] of London Journal 
 of Botany has been taken from the Amer.
 Academy by some person unknown. I 
 cannot trace it, I'm sorry to say. 
 There is no other off so late date in Boston. 


 In our March no. instead of a plate 
 of the papavernaceous genus [crossed out: Romnaya] [added: Romneya],
 they have given a duplicate of Dithraea. 


 It is not your Cruciferous genus.


 The [racerne?] foliage, style &c, is quite difft. [different]
 Dithraea, is very near Biscutetta, probably too 
 near. Yours is a new & remarkable genus,
 that you can indicate if you choose [that?]
 name. I fear, with the immense press
 upon me that I can do nothing more for you 
 for a week or two. I will therefore send the 
 specimens back to New York on Monday 
 unless I hear from you.
