 of how I fell into the
 error about [crossed out: Nilfa vagin [vaginiflora]]
 Crypsis Virginica, Nutt. [Nuttall]


 Lately I have had correspondence
 about it with Porter &
 Durand, & original specimens 
 sent me as well as some gathered
 in Philada [Philadelphia] streets, where it grows

 not to be very marked; but my
 Philadelphia specimens accord

 than with alopec. [alopecuroides].


 Thanks for Chenop. [Chenopodium] glaucum.

 in your hands.
