          this sp. is recently + sparingly nat., but I see no reason why it should not
continue.
The Salix enclosed seems to be the herbacea of PL. - whose sp. were
from Labrador + I cannot find any notes of the plant in any other
authors. I found it very sparingly on the Northern summits of the White
Mts. the other species mentioned in Eaton's Man. as found at the 
Wh. Mts by Dr. Boot is very common on the lower summits - not
howeever growing with this. 
The Corallorhiza + Geastrum (though I called it Geaster for the reasons
given by Mr. Berkeley in Hookers Br. Fl. - it being the name applied
by the erector of the genus) are my only specimens - though I hope to
find the Geastrum again this fall. Most unfortunately the  acuminate + conical
orifice of the fruit-covering is wanting - being broken off when exhibited at 
the Boston Soc. of Nat. Hist. when I read some notices of the plant.
These agreed almost perfectly - indeed as far as I went - with the 
obs. of Mr. Bryant - the author of a curious history of the English sp.
of Geaster - published in pamphlet form about 1780" I have no doubt
that the reason he asigns for the rarity of the plant everywhere 
equally true of ours. Unlike the other species about here - its fibrous radicles
take firm hold of the Earth + [crossed out: are buried] even in themost exposed situations
the plant is buired under the autumnal leaves of our forests. It seem to be an
autumnal plant. 
I also enclose a few lichens. The plant labelled Nephroma anon. seems 
to be new - + if so is a very interesting form of this genus. It grew
