          but he replied that he had not studied the order. I will send better specimens
in your bundle later in this season. It is a tall plant say from 3 - 7 feet high
very much branched and all of my specimens 20 or more this year are
from a single plant.

I ought to have told you before of several good things which we found
on our excursion to the south part of the state. On the banks of Worden 
pond S. Kingston we detected the leaves of the Orontium aquaticum
[Sachsianthis?] [?] (Bailey was mistaken here I presume if he called it
eriostlis) Sabbatia [Sabatia] chloroides fr. utricularia resupinata fr. [verides?].
Many good things [crossed our: not] already in the R. I. list. Nearby the
vaccinium hirtellum and azalea glauca grew plentifully the former
then had green [fr.?] the latter was almost [?]. In a cedar swamp
I found the Carex subulata and Deweys C. disperma was there
also in great abundance. It was rather late for both on the banks
of one of several green ponds situated in what the S. Kingston folks
call the hill country. I first detected the H. adpressum of which
you have had a (letter) specimen. I will send better.
I was sorry that we had but a day to give to S. Kingston and
am confident that we shall find good things there when
we go again as some of us certainly will.

At Narragansett [pur?] Newport Little Compton I found barren
places for Cyperacea then being not much worth looking for save the
E. [Elocharis?] pymaea and it was then rather early to collect this.

Very truly your Obt [Obedient] Svt [Servant]
