          But you must know that species. [Crossed out: Does]
 It may be near B. rosmarinoides, Benth. [Bentham]
 Please compare it with that. Has that 
 Yellow flowers? If that, why not 
 characterize a species E. [Eriogonum] rosmarinoides Torr. [Torrey],"
 with its two forms. If difft. [different], make this "E. [Eriogonum] 
 sitgreavesii", and send me a character. 
 For if the other plant is E. [Eriogonum] effusum, this is 
 not, surely.


 "E. [Eriogonum] hymenothecum, Torr. mss [Torrey manuscript]" Very
 white spatulate leaves, is from [added: between] Pole Creek 
 & Cedar Bluff." I called it E. [Eriogonum] graphaloides,
 Benth. [Bentham]. Why not? 


 "E. [Eriogonum]  new to me, near E. [Eriogonum] caespitosum (the 
 locality of which has been exchanged with the preceding.)
 I call E. [Eriogonum] pauciflorum Pursh. 
 What do you say? 


 I shall retain the mss. [manuscript] to hear 
 from you once more, if you can soon devote
 a spare hour to your favorite genus. 


 How is it about the plates of Cactaceae
 sent to Bigelow? Were 50 sets sent? 
 Am I to pay for them, or to you give them 
 to Bigelow. This seems to be the alternative. 
 Thurber is ready to pay for them, for me. 


 Yours ever
