referred to one species seemed a conformation of my view.
C. pedunculata was accidentally omitted, though its place
was indicated in the Preface - in Digitatae - nearest to di-
gitata and clandestina. Boott actually places it between C. mer-
tensii and C. franklinii! + Kunth makes a group of peduncu-
lata wilendovii + nigromarginata!! To some of the
groups I have appended the names of Fries, Kunth, +c. But
perhaps I could have claimed these. Fries's "Montanee", con-

mine of 23 sp. But i must weary you no
longer with this. I wish I had had C. fraseri, which
I have only seen in Europe. But a third of my collection
perhaps, is not included in my Enumeration. Such species
as venusta, dasycarpa, barrattii +c I did not recieve
till too late - of others as aristata +c my specimens were
not sufficient to study - and of others I could not
arrive at a satisfactory opinn [opinion]. But I thought that without
these I had enough to deal with - as much I am sure,
as I ever want to have to study again.
I trust you will excuse me if I ask you, in case the 
memoir on Dr. Fremont's Plants is pubd [published] - that you will
favour me with a copy - especially as I am most
anxious to get everything on our Botany - I have even
succeeded in getting your N.Y. Catalogue of 1819 - now very
scarce I believe - and the copy you sent Mr. Lambert
of your Enum. of [added: the] Genera of Amer. plants appended to your
edit. of Lindley. This will, I hope be my excuse for asking
for the new Memoirs, if it be perfectly convenient to you to
