          In a small parcel which I have prepared to
 send you I have put up a blue berried [Greylussa?]
 The natives call it the blue hog huckleberry
 it appears to me to be only a var. of V. resinon
 now Greylusacccia - The natives collect the blue
 and reject the black for market. - The white
 Huckleberry of the pines - must I think belong
 to V. tenellum? The natives here call that species
 Turtle huckleberries, Sugar huckleberries, and also
 Low sweet blue huckleberries - also June huckleberries


 The white berried (they say) grow on low bushes
 almost prostrate the leaves lighter coloured than
 is usual - Berries of a cream white & very sweet
 very rare. Those I had heard of, before I wrote
 my last, were found on a single bush - An
 elderly lady told me since, she had often
 seen them and that she know some ones, who
 picked several quarts & sent them to New York
 I received a letter from Vasey stating that he
 was preparing a parcel for you, and some
 plants for myself - I have a small parcel
 ready for Rev. G. C. Bush of New Egypt. - Your
 inquiries respecting the Rumex I cannot now answer
 but will examine into it - The [Xylosteum?] celearis
 has a juicy berry and nearly resembles the colour
 of the fruit of Mitchella repens when mature.
