          P.S. 
I forward the package this day.
I trust you will escure the errors of my labels. I have just
found that the which I have sent as Rhyncospora cy-
mosa is a Ceratoschoenus + I suppose C. longirostris. Not having
Gray's Monograph to refer to + no specimens to compare with - [?]
the descriptions being omitted in your Monogr. of the Cyp. (which
I have) I was obliged to depend on the brief descriptions of the older
books in studying the plant. I have just said that this plant is
"I suppose, C. longirostis." But this I say only because I have no
specimen of that sp. to compare with - + so [crossed out: might not to] can
not be certain. It does strike me that it is a new species;
though I do not know how important the characters are in
which it differs from the desc. of C. longitrostris. As the
plant may possibly prove more interesting than I supposed -  I
will mention to little more of its history. It was found by me last
August growing in large quantities in a pond (on the margins)
in Plymouth. Mr. Oakes subsequently visited the place - but though
we carefully examined every pond with hardly an exception - in the
whole region (and it abounds with them) we were unable to discover 
any new station for it. [crossed out: In Sept.] I have again this month visited
Plymouth with Mr. Oakes to get mature plants of the various Cypera-
ceae we had previously gathered - + did not succeed in tracing it
in any new spot. As I have above said, the plant grows in about a
foot to 3 of water. To get my specimens I was obliged to wade - 
+ I did not see a single [crossed out: specimen] plant that could be plucked
without going into the water. There were immense quantities in the 
pond. Ceratoschoenus macrostachys (if I am not miskten in calling it
this specimen, though I feel quite confident it cannot be any other
published one) was found by me also, much more commonl than the
last, in sandy bogs adjoining + on the shores of the ponds. But while I claim
these interesting discovery - I cannot forget to mention that Psilocarya, and
