          2 Carices from the Wh. Mts. Beside which I found C. saxatilis of your
Mon. Cyp. + C. atrata; with nodding spikelets: the latter rare, the former
very common in the higher parts. Lactuca integrifol. In habit + place
of growth this appears to differ from L. elongata, and also in the const-
antly (in 20 plants) sagittate form of the leaves at the middle
of the stem. The leaves are however rarely entire - that is generally
toothed, and those near the root [crossed out: are] sometimes occur with a
filamentous midrib. These (the radical) leaves are long-spathulate,
Empetrum conradii ? This was sent me from Plymouth as the 
E. nigrum, with which last plant I was familiar at the
Wh. Mtn. station. Having no duplicates, I have cut these from
my specimen. It grows somewhat erect to a foot in height
I am informed + my specimens fully warrant this. In this,
the flowers appear invariably to be terminal, whereas I have 
never seen the berries on the Wh. Mtn. plant other than toward
the extremities of the branches. 
I mean to visit the Mts. of Vt. + NH again in the middle
of this coming June by which I hope to find all the plants in flower
+ also to get the Swertias, Alchemilla, Sibbaldia, & which 
one may look for in vain the last of July: [added: at] which time both
my visits heretofore were made. But the particular object will
be the lichens, which I have made up my mind is a sufficient 
subject for study for any man - letting the rest go [added: Tuckerman]
As I have made up this parcel hastily, I hope the scantness
of size & may be pardoned in my specimens - as of many I
had no duplicates, + was therefore obliged to divide my own spec.
