          Lavauxia, a very distinct plant. OE. [Oenothera] canescens, Say. It has 
 an ovate, sharply 4-angled fruit, which is I think septicidal.


 782 (1843) Gayophytum diffusum, Torr. & Gr. [Gray] 
 (but with larger flowers?)
 257 (1844) = Ribes irriguum?


 Your Krameria (no. 425, 1844) is not that of Bentham
 Pl. Hartweg. [Plantae Hartwegianae.] but most likely it is  K. [Krameria] parvifolia,
 Benth. Voy. Sulphur [Bentham's The botany of the voyage of H.M.S. Sulphur], p. 6, t. 1. (he has no flowers:
 you have no fruit). Did yours come from the Calif. [Californian] side
 of Mts. [Mountains].
 He (Benth. [Bentham] Sulphur) has no Malphigiaceae
 except the two I have already mentioned, neither of 
 which are yours. 


 This is all I can do for you to-day.
 You will readily enough gather what ones, thus far, it is 
 worth while to notice.


 If you wish me to draw up the characters of [crossed out: OE]
 Oenothera I will do so, if you will let me know at once,
 and send with the specimens on [crossed out: Monday [illegible]] Monday next.


 The London Hortic. [Horticultural] Socy. [Society] are about to send Hartweg
 to collect in Oregon and California. 


 Is the spec. [specimen] of Pinus Pigñon to be returned, or 
 no? I don't like the name Pigñon, which is not 
 aboriginal, but Voyageur-French!


 In haste, Yours ever
 A. Gray


 I fear I can give you no new light about the 
 Malphigiaceae. Love to all! Why does not Mrs. 
 T. [Torrey] write?
