          In packet No 5 I hope you will find all accurate. There is one however rather
too old a form of Scirpus which I have not named. It looks like a plant
that I received from Vasey as Scirpus brunneus but which he changed to a form
of S. [Scirpus] [atrovirens?] after having Careys[Carey's] opinion of it. This Scirpus brunneus I
have never seen and if you have a spare specimen I should highly
prize it. I see a northern Cperus in your Mono. called Cyperus
Michauxianis can it be that the plant that I have doubtfully
labelled C. strigosa is that species? Certainly it wants the bristles 
of the [ochreae?]. Scirpus lineatus and planifolius are to be added to 
my list this year as well as S. mucronatus which you kindly
confirmed. Among the species of Eleocharis you will find several 
[crossed out: species] [added: forms] of E. palustris.

Do write me about the Juncus without a specific name in packet
No. 6. I have sometimes thought it might be [I. squarrosus?]. What
think you of Xyris No. 834? So the polygonum pennsylvanicum [Polygonum pennsylvanicum] [right?]
and then there is also a polygonum in the same bundle wanting a 
name.

But to get back again to the plants that are something in packet No.
8. I have purposely followed Deweys names to see what you will say
to them. What think you of C. [Carex?] utriculata? is it the plant of Boot [Boott?]?
I have had doubts of the plant that I have generally labelled C. flava [Carex flava]
(it is left without a name in your bundle). It does look a little
different from an English specimen of C. flava [Carex flava] that is in my Herb. [Herbarium]
Can it be as Dewey suggests the lepidocarpa [?] in Kurze's Supp. [Supplement]
to Schkuhn Carin?
