          PS Sept 28th. In a note of H. Lindh. p.2? Ulmus (crassifolia I 
think) is said to have been collected in Sept? in flower the second
time. Of this I doubt the correctness. My opinion however is predicated
on negative testimony. For several years I have been in the midst
of it & here it grows abundantly on all the hill & in large thickets
in the vallies. It is now loaded with fruit. I have never seen it in
flower or fruit in the spring & until I receive more evidence I
must think it period of flowering is Sept.

I send you a fragment of [Elatino?] just collected in the bed of a
dry branch. Much branching from the root branches mostly prostrate
sometimes ascending 3-6 inches viscous pubescent. Probably E. Texana 
if not it would properly be called E[urybia?] viscosa.

[It is Elat (Mermea) Texana]
