          have been sent to me but I think they are immature 
forms of C. [Carex] acuta. In your Cat. do I understand you
to say that C. striata Michx. [Michaux], filiformis L. Schk. [Linnaeus Schukhr],
Halseyana [Carex halseyana] Dewey and polymorpha Muhl. [Muhlenberg] are synon [synonymous]?
In you [your] Cat. you have omitted Carex granularis. Fagus ferruginea,
Rhododendron lapponicum, Avena elatior Linn. [Linnaeus] (grows in Chautauqua Co.)
Utricularia gibba, Juncus setaceus, Nyssa aquatica, Euphorbia
corollata & others of which I have mislain my list just now. 
I hoped you would send me some Carices by Bigelow, at
least C. Frasera [Carex fraseri], but I ws disappointed. I wish if possible
you would send me some of the northern Carices by 
Mr. Thayer at 17 South Street, who resides at this 
place & will probably leave the City the fore part of 
next week. He has been in the City as an agent all 
the season & will leave as the navigation soon closes.
If you will take the pains to send them to him before
he leaves he will bring them to me. I wish for the 
C. fraseri, which you promised me soon. C. aristata R. Br. [Robert Brown]
C. stenolepis Torr. [Torrey] and if any of the following, most of which 
I suppose you have viz. [namely] the nos. [numbers] in your N.A. Cyp. [North American Cyperaceae]
3, 5, 7, 9, 13. 22. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 39. 40. 41. 44. 45. 46.
47. 54. 55. 56. 59. 61. 62. 69. 71. 75. 77. 79. 80. 82. 85. 94. 95. 96. 
102. 117. 119. 127. 130. 142. 145. 146. 147. 156. 157. 158. 159. 160.
I would not have you think that I expect that you can
furnish half of the above for me, but I merely put down
such as I lack, & if perchance you have any spare
duplicates, you know my desiderata. I sent you a
