          The list of plants with observations, descriptions etc. which
I promised you in a former communication is in a state
of progress approaching completion— I shall forward
it by the first convenient opportunity, together with
sundry specimens— I think I have two or three new
species of Aster, & one new species of Solidago, specimens
& descriptions of which I shall forward to you as early
as practicable.

I enclose in this letter a small specimen of what
I consider Usnea angulata— It grows upon the Pinus
canadensis a few miles from this village — I have not
yet obtained a specimen the elongated thallus of which
is about 3 1/2 feet in length, with branches from 6 to 18in.
long — If you wish I can send you a large specimens.
I am not positive that this is specifically distinct
from U. florida

I saw Mr. Whitney a few days since — his copies of
the Flora have not arrived — he thinks that he
shall not obtain them till spring on account of navigation
being closed by ice — I therefore wish my copy of
Part II to be forwarded forthwith by mail—
Dr. N. M. W. McClelland whose name I forwarded some
some time since as a subscriber, has located at
Richmond Ky— In a letter received from him a few
days since, he requests his copy of the Flora to be forward.
by mail — He is responsible & I presume will remit
immediately upon the receipt of Parts I & II —
