          pl. in several of the Green Mtns. in Vt., and have the 
specimens in my colln. and I picked a fruited spec-
men, riding with Mr. Oakes, somewhere in Plymouth
County, which he said was V. pyrifolium.
The V. nudum of Cambridge, is as Bigelow remarks,
so far as I have obsd, rare. I have never been
able to understand the differences between the above
V.  pyrifolium, and the other, very satisfactorily.
I send also a pl. which I found in Plymouth, and 
supposed to be identical with the V. nudum B [beta] par-
vifolium of Bigel. found by Mr. Greene at Sandwich,
in the Plymouth region, about 20 miles further south.
Mr. Oakes was with me at the time, and when
I shew it to him, thought my supposition probably.
I regret I have never thought to shew it to
Mr. Greene, but you will judge.
If the specimen is not of any particular value,
I should it again, as I took it from my
collection, but otherwise, it is perfectly at your
service, and I am very glad that it is of any
service.
You wished me to send some more of Carex
scirpoidea which I have done, together with some
of my little Aira sive [?] Agrostis, which I hope will be
agreable.
