          in Texas with obovate leaves it seemed to be the Argyranthemum
of Elliot but distinct from any species that I have forwarded
you. I have [added: a] species sometimes growing to the height of 4 feet
found abundant in this vicinity and also at Opelousas La [Louisiana] for it 
may be the Maritima but does not correspond with my recalculation
of that species. Leaves 3 to 4 inches in length by one or more in 
width. Cordate at base and acute or subacute at their termination
the Phylanthus [Phyllathus] mentioned in my Catalogue for June is the Obovatus
of Pursh Caroliniensis Elliotts. I presumed I must have inadvertently
made a mistake in labeling the Lepidanthus, it was my intention
to have labeled it Lepidanthus Phylanthoroes N F Ark [Lepidanthus phyllanthoides]
Phacelia fimbriata common on the Red River Praries as well as in
the upper counties of Gea [Georgia] Phacelia parviflora. This plant was
first found near one of the feries [ferries] of the Oakmulge [Okmulgee River] Gea [Georgia]
and Mr. Nutall's specimens were presented him by me. He said it
was undescribed at the time. You can with propriety describe
it as one my plants, Paronychia dichotoma. Is this the plant
I named an Ionidium.  The Genus Paronychia is not in the Sixth
edition of Eatons Manual, if not please to examine the plant
thus labeled. There is also a Genus nearly allied to the Hecaceas
plants erect Flowers polyandrous stamens a silky white [word is missing]
Is this the Darlingtonia? One of my plants may be the D intermedia [Darlingtonia intermedia]
I am glad that you have not yet examined the Compositae. I shall
add to this family new species and Genera and perhaps do something in
illustration of others. My Catalogue of plants for the Autumn
will be forwarded with my collections.
I should be pleased to have you publish my plants in the 
Anals [Annals?] of the Lyceum as you suggest among ohers please
to describe the Diandrous [dianthus] plant, as it is in the Herbarium
of Nutall and he may anticipate us. I was the discoverer
of the plant and furnished Dr. Baykins specimens and it was
forwarded you at the special request of Dr. B. I hope you 
have or will receive such of my plants as are in [Connecticut?]
I think there are a few of them that may be interesting
The paper in the Annals Lyceum is not yet received I presume
owing to the partial mails received of late.            I now
make some general remarks in relation to the new Amyrill
a ceous. It is precisely a Cooperia in everything except the 
flower which has no tube or next to none, Root a Globular 
solid, tunicated [added: bulb] about the size of a musket Bullet. Leaf at
the time of the flowering of the plant scarce more than a recdiment
