          Again on page 187. C [Carex] digitalis Willd. [Willdenow]. What is it? & have I a 
specimen in my collection? You give as synonym C. oligocarpa 
Schw. [Schweinitz], Torr. [Torrey] & Dewey. I do not know the plant. On page 
415 of N.A. Cyp. [North American Cyperaceae], you make C. oligocarpa Schk. [Schkuhr] C. digitalis 
Willd. synonyms. & in your report you make oligocarpa Schw. 
and digitalis Willd. synonyms. Will you please explain? 
I wish if convenient you would send me you would send 
me a specimen each of C. oligocarpa Schk., C. digitalis willd. 
that I may understand them. Also the following which are 
not in my collection, if you have them to share, viz. C. saxatilis 
Linn. [Linnaeus], vestita Willd., striata Michx. [Michaux], aristata R.Br. [Robert Brpwn], subulata Michx., 
virescens Muhl. [Muhlenberg]. I have some other things to say on the subject
of Carices but will defer till some other time. I will 
only ask is that outlandish Carex I sent to you 
has any connexion with the above named oligocarpa 
or digitalis? Or what is it anyhow?

I have looked over your catalogue & find very few mistakes 
& some omissions which are probably inadvertent. I note 
a few. I will sometime hereafter give it a thorough 
examination & compare with my own cat. [catalogue]. & find all 
the omissions in this region, the mistakes &c. You quoted me 
for Magnolia acuminata at Lewiston & Portage. I [It] should be 
Penn Yan. Nelumbium fl. [flowers in] June. It is not flower I believe 
till the latter part of July. [Schenckgeria?] palustris fl. [flowers] you say 
in July. It should be May. Beck makes the same mistake 
& I believe Eaton also. I see you have left my Polygala 
amhigna. Torrey & Gray's Flora says Geranium dissetum [dissectum]
does not grow here, but you have but you have it inserted in cat. [catalog].

The following plants, natives of this State are omitted: 
Lathyrus venosus Muhl. [Muhlenberg], or do you think it same as well as L. myrtifolius?
Baptisia caerulea, grows on the Connewango [Conewango] River Chautauqua Co.
Potentilla supina Linn. Lake Ontario, N. [north] of Rochester.
I have a specimen fr. [from] Prof. Dewey. 
Potentilla anserina L., all over this region of country
Rudbeckia triloba. I have a sp. [specimen] from Niag. [Niagara] Falls.
[Rudbeckia] hirta, on Lake Erie in Chautauqua Co.
Do you [added: think] Gnaphalium americanum Linn. same as G. pupureum? 
I have what I call G. americanum. 
Gentiana ochroleuca Willd. I have a sp. from Allegheny Co.
