Engelmann, George Dec. 14, 1841 [2] (seq. 28)

from Berlin — may be that the Campanula is ludo-
viciana — perhaps the Cardamine is also C.
ludoviciana. — Some times they make mistakes in
these gardens — I found in Heidelberg a Heracleum
called auritum there — said to have been from
seed from me — and I never yet have found
a Heracleum in the U. States! — Your pamphlet
is most interesting to me; — I thank you
greatly for it — Have you got the Cuscutas?
I have written to Washington about them.
How is it with Torrey's Cuscuta's — if I had
only a few flowers of each specimen! —

Eupatori altisima [Eupatorium altissima] — Missouri & Arkansas.
I have sent you with the plants last summer a strange
from from the hot springs, Ark. very small and
narrow leaves, perhaps different — the only
specimen I had! Where may it be??

E. serotinum Missouri & Arkansas
E. rotundifolium Arkansas, leaves supetiolate
petioles 1/2 live long !
E. pubescens 5 flower heads!
Arkansas
E. album Arkansas
E. sessilifolium Illinois & Missouri, rare,

That is all I believe what I have to say
at present. —

Only a few days ago I wrote you a long
letter.

Our Anychia dichotoma grows on margins
of ponds, overflow places etc — A. capillacea
has been collected by Mr Geyer in Norway
in open dry sandy woods, under white
oak.

The Marsilea I found in your paper —
without fruit!!
It may be identical with the Arkansas plant
which has been described by A. Braun, of
Carlsruhe as M. {Marsilea} uncinata, and is very
different from M. vestita — I had seen the
figure of that in Hooker works in Carlsruhe
but neglected to examine or copy it then.
The Marsilea from upper Missouri appears
according to leaves identical with the
Texan plant — and probably different
from both Arkansas & Columbia plant
— Would it be possible to obtain a
small specimen (with a fruit) from
Nuttall — Where did he find it??

Excuse my haste — The mail closes

Yours truly
G Englemann
