          My Scleria has the habit of S. oligantha [Scleria oligantha], but the 
nut is tubercular & the perigynum totally different. 
Flowers May, field & pastures.

I am sure I need scarcley apologize for troubling 
you with these things, since your own labors among 
the Cyperaceae, have imparted an interest to this [?] 
of plants & have made their investigation one of the 
pleasantest departments in Botany.

I am, Sir, very respectfully &c 
H W Ravenel
