          [paper torn] equen Yashqui of Yucatan. 20th Decbr. 1834. Campeche, H. Perrine
[paper torn] [Chur.?] Corolla Superior: tube campanulate, Segments [six?. converging, longer [paper torn] 
[paper torn] ments [obscured by Columbia University stamp] base of Segments, thrice as long : Style very little longer
[paper torn] or nearly half as long as [filaments?] : Stigma three tubed, Capsule cylindrical, Slightly
[paper torn] average length, [obscured by Columbia University stamp] tube 2/4 : segments 3/4 : filaments [31i?] 3/4, style plus 5/4: before [?]
change to a whitish [eolvis?] or anthers burst. Where pollen is [?]. Style has grown 1/4 inch or more 
1 1/2 inch long, including the Segments of the corollahave then become white and dry. The anthers 
their yellow pillar, from the longitudinal lateral external openings of  their lobes, shrink from
long, and from their straight shape, to a three quarter circle. While the segments & tube of the 
and the filaments continue withering, the Style continues growing, till it becomes 3 inches long
Stigma gapes wide open, and thus continues till the filaments become entirely shrunken
fine dry threads. The Style itself then begins to shrink in the middle, and falls down along with
filaments hanging over the segments bases. The whole [arc?] of the corolla and all its contents
and withered, remain adherent to the germ. Many germs falls off before they become mature 
young Yashqui plants issue from the pedicels.

The pedicels are generally in threes, on peduncles, genrally in triplets; on terminal branchlets gen'l [generally] intersecting 
perpendicularly from the horizontal branch branchlets, which also, gen'l in three, separate at ac [tape residue?]
[froms?] or are divisions of the main horizontal branches [added: which are] at right angles with the stalk.
In the yard, I have now cut a stalk, twenty feet long. At ten feet from the cut the main branches
At the cut end, it is 10 in Circumf. [Circumference] at 5 ft=8 in at 10=6 in. The stalk leaves closely [crossed out: and]
nearly half the circumference at the base, and alternate around and up the stalk being large
nearest together at the base and becoming smaller and farther apart as they approach the top
At the [?] of the base of these stalks-leaves, there is a lanceobovate depression the lower half of which
elevated like a grain of corn and this covered projection is a germ of the main branches
Although the main stalk itself is nearly cylindrical, the main branches become flattened like
cilinder [cylinder] compressed, or like two segments of a cilinder [cylinder] united and the main stalk is bent until 
right line at the points where the main branches issue and hence the stalk is bent out
branch [?] at the next. & at the 3d [?] at the 4th and so on. The branchlets [hole in paper] [rather?]
triangular in their shape [current order and frequency?] 
the branch and of the horizon in their extent [outwards?] and upwards.

The first pair with the continuation of the mainbranch constitute triple [hole in paper] hlets.
Each of the first 2 [?] at branchlets, divides into 3 sub-branchlets and [there?] [hole in paper] 3 peduncles, [tape residue]
which has 3 pedicels - but [?] [?] one imperfect. The central or main branch again [divides?]
into 3 sub-branclets, each [divides?] again has 3 common peduncles 3 pedicels to each.
The central terminating peduncle, is however frequently divided into 2 parts, and sometimes 3, [?]
the [?] to continue subdividing and forming new branches &c. [etc.]
[hole in paper] anches are generally 1 [foot?] long when when they throw off the first branchlets : and there are 3 inch [hole in paper]
[hole in paper] divide into sub-branchlets : and these 3/4 inches when they divide into [peduncles?]
[hole in paper] are 1/4 inch to the division into pedicels. The branchlets are 5/4 in : 7 the Sub-[branchlets?]
[?] [fennce?] but a circle embracing the [9?] pedicels [entev__?] in 2 ½ inches; and the 6 to [9?]
[upon?] them fill up a circumference of [six?] to seven inches.

Spec. [Char.?] leaves green smooth edged, lanceshaped. Dimensions of one. Length 5 feet, a 
from [?] [?] & 1/8 in. thick; at 30 in 5 in. 3/8ths at 45 inchless & 3/8th, also dual end 3 in & [hole in paper]
