          of Thalictrum anemenoides their taste is at first a little
[?] perhaps a slight [?] to that of a raw
parsnip, aftwards decidedly pungent. The taste of the
fruit reminds me of the parsley fruit.

The [conx?] supposed to be new I am afraid
will turn out a hybrid between C. gracellina &
C. [pusercens?]. It appeared this now in the same place
in increased quantities, but of many hundreds 
carefully examined not a single nut came to maturity.
This is a very suspicious circumstance. But is it
[conclusion?] on the subject? Did ever a care of the
kind fall under your notice?

Then on several other matters in the 
paper I met you & Dr. G. last minute, upon which
I would be much pleased to have your views
for instance. How will the arrangement of the 
zizias & Tharpiums there [?] [?]? Are
their synonyms correctly or not adduced? This
summers observation of those plants suggests to me
no alteration. I find though the transition forms
between [Lis.?] aura & its [vor Curd?] not so complete as
those between Thaspium [crossed out:?] its var Curd.

Do you find vittae in Enginia bulbosa? If 
it has vittae will that circumstance let in any 
light about its proper tale? It is at least not
confirmatory of its present position in Coriandreae (vittae
being generally absent from that tube) to which you have 
[?] it doubtingly. As to the aratis
I have a strong suspicion tht it is a part
of Dr. Darlington's A. hinata (p.382)
