          As to the Nyctagineae
 you brought me,
 only now looked over the 
 parcel to put in herbm. [herbarium]


 Acleisanthes "Berlandieri var. [variant]?"
 = just what Berlandieri
 was founded on originally,
 the small-leaved state.


 "Boerhaavia racemosa, n. sp." 
 = apparently only Coulters, Mex. [Mexican] 
 1425 (without leaves), which I 
 took for B. [Boerhaavia] spicata.


 Your "Oxylaphus aggregatus var?
 hispidus" = just the O. [Oxylaphus] hirsutus 
 of Nutt. [Nuttall] Upper Missouri,
 Hooker, &c.!!


 I suppose the species [added: of Oxylaphus] will go down 
 into very few.


 Fendler has that very slender
 one, viz. his 745, same as Wright's
 1723.
