 As to V. [Verbena] canescens = V. [Verbena] remota Benth. [Bentham]
 You must have it in plenty, Berlandier 
 & others. My specimens are glued down
 or I would send you plenty. 


 In my herbm [herbarium] it occurs, 
 Pl. Hartw. [Plantae Hartwegianae] 174 (V. [Verbena] remota)
 "          "                                                     177  V. [Verbena] canescens 
 Berlandier, 827, 2247, & 955, 1485, 2054, 225. 
 Coulter, Mex. [Mexico] 1146
 Lindheimer (1846) 77.
 Fendler, 594
 Pope, Pecos & Llano Estacado
 Wright, 1496, 1497.


 I think you will identify it. 


 I do not wonder you combine V. [Verbena] bipinnatifida 
 & V. [Verbena] Aubletia.


 I think I must give up the idea of 
 doing the Convolvulaceae for you, unless 
 you can give me a month or so yet. 


 Now for your late letter. 
 I trust you have dropped a letter to 
 Gibbes. The great knack is to write 
 short & prompt letters, it saves a world
 of trouble.


 Send on to Hochstein. He comes in 
 every day to ask if anything has come for
