          G. macrocarpa, and which has been made a new species by Nuttal in
his herbarium, under the name of G. floccosa- Dr. Green found the same in
the vicinity of Boston-G. pilosa is also found there, but these are the 
only ones I met with.- The Lythsum lineare, I did not find, but Nuttal has
it, I think, from Delaware.- Luescus imbricasia, I never heard of before from
N. Jersey, and should be much surprised if it so turns outt- The Yellow
Oak, Q. castanea, grows there, and has not hithertoo been correctly desecribed.
- I have a Habenaria which may well be the flava, but Nuttall has I
believe also published it under the name of integra.- Eriantheus alopee.
I have from Delaware.-I have seen it stated somewhere, perhaps in
Muhlenberg's letter, that Whitlow found at Quaker bridge Laurus Carolineus
& one of the species of Calycanthus, neither of which that I am aware of
has been seen there in modern times.- Nuttal has several undescribed
plants from New Jersey.
I do not recollect whether any thing passed between us on the
subject of L. Collin's Herbarium previous to your departure to Europe
you are probably aware that it was offered for sale at auction in
[June?] last- Ms. Schweinitz purchased that part consisting of Baldwin's
Collection for a little over one hundred dollars, & I have since understood
that he is much pleased with his bargain- Ms Collins' private
collection was bid in by his Executor, at 150 dolls. [dollars]- Some weeks
since, a letter arrived from Mr. Rich of London, enquiring the price
and it [crossed out: they/that] have been offered to him for 200 dols, which it seem to me
he will take up, in all probablity-In the mean time however, if you
were to make an offer of not less than 150, you would be very likely
to gt it- I have examined the colletion carefully and think it
well worth $200 to one who wants a collection of the plants of
this country. Mr. Collins had several correspondents in the
Southern States, & Schweinitz told me that he could procure
plants from every part of the world more easily than from our
Southern districts- Among those I now recollect, that would
be most likely to interest you, are the numerous contributions
