My dear Dr. Pernald: 
I found your letter awaiting me on my return 
from a botany trip to Beaufort, S. C. As I am going into 
the pine barrens between the Cooper and Ashley Rivers 
in two days, I will get fresh sets of the pine barren 
Hypoxis and send them to you for Miss Brackett. I have 
watched - the plants with considerable interest but have 
not studied it microscopically. My opinion has been that 
there was every stage and gradation between it and the 
long-stalked specimens from Caesar's Head and the 
mountains. The stalks orfvthe pine barren species average 
about one and a quarts r^are generally unbranched and 
frequently" single flowered. Will you not let me know 
what Miss Brackett finds in regard to this species? 
Very truly" yours 
LMB/R
