          moment & my main object of dedicating one or two to Dr.
Robbins will I hope be answered.

Anemone cylindrica - var. alba is A. [brig.] var. alba 
I do not know how this strange mistake was made, [Crossed out: but] as I
had formerly compared the two species [Added: with Dr. Gray's desc. [description]] both of which I collected
in the same locality 20 years ago in Essex Co. any original first
specimens are still in my herbarium, but I made no notes in my
catalogue, & without thought or examination at the time recorded
the species. Linnaeus' desc.[description] of A. virginica, " capitulum elongatum,
cylindricum" answers best to cylindrica, but does well enough for
Virg. when compared to a round headed species. I see by your
[App.?] that Dr, Gray found L's specimens to be Virg.

Galium Littellii - I [Crossed out: have] am inclined to believe that this is a vary.[variety]
of Galium circaezans, though Dr. Robbins & Mr. [Crossed out: McRae] [Added: Macrae]
"acriter repugnant". I have never seen seen the true circezans
var.[variety] A. with any but white flowers. I took up this species from my old
notes without any reexamination or comparison.

Myriaphyllum scabratrium of Plymouth is not the true & may be
a new species. I will send you full specimens. The
Block Island specns.[specimens] in full fruit are the true without doubt.

Is Erythraea Pickeringii desc.[described] in Griesbach[Grisebach] or elsewhere?

Phaca Robb. I supposed to be your P. neglecta until I examined
my complete specimens which I colld.[collected] last year.
I will send you full specimens.

[To?] Polygala Mittallii I had had given the same name many years
ago in my [?] Catalogue.

Senecio aureus, B. lauccceolatus I had not carefully exd. [examined] when I
sent it to you as prob.[probably] a new species.
I have got S. aurius[aureus] from the bogs in cult.[culture] in a dry soil
having long cult.[cultivated] S. ab. in rich dry soil.

Vacc. Canadsuie seems constant [every?] when in its characters.

Arnica montana - I expect you will prove to be [Crossed out: the true] a vary.[variety]
of that species. I have always been strongly inclined to consider
it that species, but it differes strikingly in proportions
from the [comsua?] Eur. vary.[variety]. Your N.Y. Cat.[Catalogue] decided me.
I ought to have desc.[described] my vary.[variety] but I had limited myself
to 6 pages of the Magazine.

Potamogstam Robb. - I will send you this only agrees with crispum in
having serrated leaves.

Vib. Oxyc. var. erad. - I have no doubt you now consider this as
merely a starved form of Oxy. having previously compared
it only with V. acerifolium. One of my specimens has a 
glandon petiole.
