not, when that was easily recognized, as yellow in
Compositae etc. —

I have just received a parcel from Germany, among them
100 plants from Texas, from Rusk County (upper waters of
the Sabine, north of Nacogdochez) which will be interesting
to you partly on account of geographical distribution, partly
and partly to see what they do with our species there
sometimes. — I send them along for you to look
at them and perhaps publish a little note on them.
Is Schultz's new Aster not a Diplopappus? — I believe
the plants have been named by Prof {Moritz A.} Seubert of Carlsruhe.
— I have also received his Monogr. of Elatine with

I sent you a copy of Heidelberg Gard Catalogue
(I have duplicates on account of description of
one of Lindheimers new Salvias, the same which
I had named {Salvia} pycnostachya; {Gottlieb W.} Bischoff publishes
it under the name of {Salvia} trichostyla. — In the same

our Vernonia — I really don't know whether
prae alte noveboracensis, altissima fastigiata, Baldwini
are not all one — and the same; and I have
even my doubts about {Vernonia} arkansana.

I send along the specimens received of Bischoff
as also a Heracleum, which he pretends I have sent
him the seeds from Illinois — but I dont recollect
ever to have met with a Heracleum in the U States.
I may possibly have found the seeds near Beardstown
Illin where {Heracleum} grows and where I was in Sept. Nov. 1834
Look at the specimen and see whether you know
any thing about it. — You will oblige me by
returning all those whenever convenient. —

I send also along a few drawings and notes
on Fishes, to be added to my former collection
which must be in Prof {David Humphreys} Storer's hands — I have never
