          We have an other plant here that I have since
met with. It has exactly the fruit of Zizia 
aurea with the leaves of the [?] of your
Thaspium cordatum viz. leaves simply ternate, [?]
subcordate, of the stem, radical leaves cordate on long
petioles. In this plant the lower parts of the [scratched out: the plant]
are quite pubescent. I have not seen enough of
it to make up my mind whether it might be
considered a form of Zizia aurea, or a new species 
if the latter it will make a true Zizia cordata.
Our Zizias & Thaspiums are pretty variable in 
their leaves.

Another umbelliferous plant about which I feel 
some interest in No. 91 since I [?] that I have
seen the same plant (in flower only) in Dr. Short's herbarium.
He found but a single imperfect specimen
of it 3 or 4 years ago. - never has been able to meet 
with it since - was unable to name it.

No. 92 an Asclepias & No. 89 a Carex I do not
know what to do with. No. 90 the [?] Eleocharis 
tortilis I think must have an other overhauling. 
Most of the others I should much like to hear
about if you or Dr. G. could spare the time.

I have just read your botanical report of last 
winter; I observe several thing that were new to me.
Our Carices are a most unfortunate set of creatures. They
have been miserably harassed of late. I had thought
that Hitchcockian at last was safely lodged
