TRANSLATION Peoria, May 13th 1852 Dear Doctor, TI should appreciate it if you would let the bearer of this letter, Mr. Wieland, have the l2th volume of DeCandolle's Prodromus. I like it here very much. IL already have a few patients and still have time to go into the field. I already looked over the immediate vicinity of the city and found some things TI had not known before and also have not seen listed in Gray's flora, f. ji. Pentalophus longiflorus À DC and one Androsace (I believe occidentalis) Pursh. In determining these I was able to use the statements I got out of De Candolle and which are the only help I have with regard to such plantss I also collected plenty of mosses and determined part of them. With regard to the Pulsatilla I have doubts and may be you will have the kindness to determine it based on my description. The plant is 4! high. The root is bulbous, root leaves three stemmed, three lobed, three columned, :involucral leaves ? Sphatic, on top three lobed, distant from the flower about 3/4 of the entire stem, calyx lobe 8 longly, once haïiry outside, always many little fruits, matty, style as long as the same but not long tailed, therefore rather belonging to the genus Anemonanthea, according to the habitat rather belonging to Pulsatilla. [Drawing of plant | Please let me know. The book I promise to return as soon as I have used it. 1 am not very anxious to come to St. Louis again myself. It is disgusting enough to hear what is going on there from a distance.

Dear Doctor, I am sending you through Mr. Fischer from here the first volume of DC and ask you to excuse me for keeping it so long and also to permit me to keep the second for some time more since I still need it. I enclose a list of the Mexican plants according to numbers. Do you know of a more recent flora of Mexico? I should appreciate it if you would let me know a man from whom LI could obtain the writings printed by Congress at its own cost regarding the export firms. Às far as Î know they are not being sold in bookstores and can only be obtained by such a way. Î have Fremont's expedition of 1842-44 as well as the one of Emory etc. 1846. But I believe there are later ones and I especially would like to have those which are expected to take place in future years. When I was in St. Paul last spring the expedition of the northern lines just left and when L returned here, [I learned that at the same time one left from St. Louis and that our Germans were engaged. Had I known about this earlier I should have gone with one of them on any conditions. Unfortunately, I learned about such things here too late. This summer Î[ did not have much time for botanising; however, I found a plant which jou could not determine whether it is Astragalus or Phara? in fruit. This winter, I shall earnestly work on the mosses, I have obtained again the work by Carl Müller and am expecting a micro specimen from Oberhäuser in Paris; L believe one can find many things in this field. On the lime stone hills at Galma LI found a pretty fern Cheilanthes vestita. In Clayton County, Iowa, I botanized for three weeks, but did not find anything which we do not have also here in Illinois. I firmly intend, if I am not lucky enough to join an expedition, to go on my own to New Mexico and south from there. I am tired of sitting still here. You would do me a favor if you would give me your advice concerning the preliminary studies. Greetings, Sincerely yours, F.

IL could have sent it already end of December, if I had had an opportunity. I cannot blame you for getting angry about the long delay, and cannot really justify it, only ask your forgiveness; it is hard to do any studying during the hot part of the year. My sincerest thanks for the beautiful books you sent me. I shall collect for Washington. I was not able to collect a single specimen of Stragalus since I could not even think of making any excursions and only found this plant in fruit just by accident. The outlook for next summer is even worse, Since my partner is leaving for the east. I shall stay here at least one more year. In the meantime, I shall prepare a trip to Mexico. You know Wislicenus; would you be kind enough to ask him to send me his Tour to Northern Mexico? I should like to read all such works before and I wrote to New York about them, but they are not available in the book trade. When Douglas comes here I shall also ask him to send me his report. I shall have to bother you with some more questions. How much has been published of Kunth's Enumeratio and are the Graminae included? If I am not mistaken, it starts out with them; or which is the best book for the study of grasses?. Do you know Barton's Flora of North America? Is it complete and worth buying? Where were the floras of Hooker, Michaux, Pursh and Nuttal published and which one is the best?. Excuse all these questions. In case you are not tired of helping me out with books, I shall not keep them so long again. With warmest greetings, Yours Fr.

Would you be so kind to Send me a copy of the bofanical part of Wislicenus' journey in which I am, of course, mostly interested; I should appreciate it very much. I have started to collect for Washington. Up to now I have gotten hold of a half dozen snakes and put them in wine spirit; I am expecting my youngest brother from Germany who takes great pleasure in such things and whom I shall send out to collect since I myself don't have that much time. Doesn't there exist a good work about American insects? About the fish I spoke to a fisherman who will obtain for me all kinds of species. I had a large tin box made for this purpose; however, L see now that a barrel would have been more practical, in a round container not so much gets cut off. E. G. Steudel in Stuttgart published a synopsis about the Glumaceae. It is supposed to contain eleven issues of which two have already been published. I always think it is best to buy such monographs since the universal floras either remain finished or are some times incorrect as the one by Dietrich. SO Ï have obtained some time ago the mosses by C. Müller and the lichens by Schaerer. In Berlin also the volumes of the Prodromus published so far are obtainable at a low price, 44 Gr. per part. If I can afford it, I shall buy it. l received news from Grosshäuser in Paris that my microscope is finally on its way. I am looking forward to receiving it since, considering my special love for cryptogams I certainly felt the lack of it. L hope that the political situation has somewhat settled and that I can ask you a favor concerning the Report. Don't you know a man or can you get me in touch with someone who would do it. I can imagine that things which don't mean anything to a politician he would not be too willing to do. I hope that L am not too tiresome with all my qu stions, I remain, Sincerely yours, F.

M brother will return soon from Stark Co. You asked what he has leamed. He attended high school until he was 16 years old, then he attended for several years the Polytechnical School, where he was especially concemed with chemistry and he continued his studies in this field for one more year in the laboratory Of Prof. Gorups in Erlangn; there he also studied sam photography and I therefore ordered a camera for him in G@rmany which one can use for making natural science illustrations. He shall stay with re for one year and study under my direction, then I am thinking of sending him to Ann Arbor in Michigan and then maybe for one year to a Grman university for the study of conservation. He is only 21 years old and is much interested in the natural sciences. I beliew he will be of great help to re some tire. You were asking mæ about a young physician in St. Louis who is looking for a better place. We have here three Grman physicians With a Ph. D. degree. Dr. Boscoten and I almost equally dividé among ourselvwæs the practice concerning the Gzrman population. Dr. Niglas does not have much to do, at least not much among the Grmans. A young man who called himself a physician returned to his original business, that of a phammmacist; finally, a fifth one who cannot speak Grman seems to me to be a barber.

T'RANSLATION Peoria, Decænber 2, 1858 ar Sir: Since I learned of your safe return from Germany, I am taking this oppor- tunity to wrte to you and to ask you sewral questions. I am just starting to write a short paper about Illinois woody plants for the next volume of the Transaction of gr. Sci. and some things are not quite clear to me. vYhen I was living in St. louis, I noticœd in Falling Spring a ré I have no speciren, but only a dark memory; is this Taxodium or Taxus. Does Taxus canadiensis exist at all that far south? Furthermore, perhaps you would have the kindness to give rm som information about the œographical distribution of som of the southern Species. Magnolia umbrella Lam. , Briodendron Tulipifera? and Vitus indivisa Willd., Wistaria frutesæns DC? Robinia pseudo-accacia L. (dos it grow wild at all?) Gleditschia monosperma Walt., Liquidanbar stryaciflua L., Viburnum obovatum Walt., Diospyros virginiana L, & Bumlia lanuginosa Pers., Bignonia capreolaté L., Benzoin adoriferum Nees.? Boryo ligustrina Wil1d. (which Nuttal mentions in Trav. in Ark.), Taxodium disticum. Does Faqus exist in Illinois? I have much trouble with the oaks. Does Q. tinctoria and Q. coccinea grow together. I cannot distinqguish them, and in any event am only half and half convincæd about the identity of acknowledgd species. Around Peomia Jrow Q. macrocarpa, alba, prinus var. discolor, imbricana, rubra, tinctoria, castanea. Concemning the œccinea I am in doubt, the coloring of the leaves in the autumm which gave the species its name, is no diagnosis as far as I am concemed, sincæ I noticæd all color nuances on the sane trees, the leaf shape varies in all oëks, so that that does not mean anything, pubescence seems to me not important at all, the fruit alone decides; this, however, is described so similar in all floras (Gray, Beck, Pursh, Michaux) that I am unable to find any: d‘sisive gs re mme ms = BE 0 1 0 3 4 5. 6 7 8 9 10 MISSOURI BOTANICAL cm copyright reserved GARDEN difference. Pursh says (ad Q. discolor/tinctoria & vinicosa Mich.) he young expending leaves are covisred with a white down on both sides, which is not the case with either Q. #ubra or Q. coccinea. I myself have seen the young leaves Of Q. rubra which grows here in larg nunbers never smooth, on the contrary, cowred entirely with som kind of down; this makes me suspicious of such statements. How many species are being made on the evidence of a few specimens sent from far æway countries and being accepted by other botanists; how many oaks of American origin were made in Europe of which one does not know anything in this country. I believe that one has to study and observe most of the gnera of woody plants and their species for many years at different times of the year and at different aægæs and under special soil conditions before one can make a new species. Jaques Gay recently made a new division of the oaks conserving most of the sub-divisions of Endlicher and Spach. Here, the sub- divisions of Robur of the American species alba, obtusiloba, lyrata and prirmus are differextiated from Elæbolanus with Q. macrocarpa and obtsiloba only by the fact that the latter have elongated lobe scales. But here we have Q. prinus var. discolor also with loose elongated leaw scales. While in other respects he cuts out species, he conserves ©. olivarfomus, with what right I don't know. The last work of the late Liebmann is supposed to be published soon, it is about the American oaks. How many species of oaks in Plinius do you know? I should appreciate it if you would obtain for me specimens and fruits of the above mentioned southern species; however, especially of the following species: Q. obtusiloba, Q nigra and Q. ustris. I should welcome it to receive with these always leaves of the young root shoots; however, should you have no duplicates, you would not be able to œtain these for me until next year. Zesculus flava, Euonymus americanus I have never seen, ; do they grow there? Zesculus glabra is here very numerous. I collected woods of about 60 species Ge Tr D 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 MISSOUR | BOTANICAL cm LL copyright reserved GARDEN rs and examined the specific weight and intend, if possible, to examine the weidht Of coal and ashes. Do you know anybody in southern Illinois who could obtain for me the woods growing there? My botanical tools have increased in the mantire. I bought DeCandolle, also Walper's repertories and annals, also Kunth's Enumæeratio, Endlicher's cmifers, etc. Mteorological observations I have sent to Washington for the last three years; however, I find that in the manner they have to be made for them, they may arouse popular interest, but are of little interest for plant physiology and biology, sincœæ things as for instance the direct influence of the sun rays, warmth of soil, sums of the useful sun warmth remain unconsidered. I was quite busy with zoology or zootony during the last years; however, I have not yet sent anything to Washington, because I am too concmed about these things; I send everything to Halle to Prof. Giebel with #hom I have established a friendly relationship and who, in my opinion, makes better scientific use of the material that would be done in Washington. Giebel already published some things delivered by me. ‘The American superficiality which makes of a specirmen a vulpus MARTO. » « « « and delivers pages and pages of descriptions of the hair of a muse, is disgusting to me. Therefore, I still have to send any such material to Washington, even though that would be to ny advantagæ. If I only could æt a position where I could do nothing else, but work in the field of natural sciences and not to have to Worry about the daily bread and necessarily have to work in ny practiæ of which I am so tired, but there is much that stands in my way. Should you be able to give me som useful information in this respect, please don't foræt re. Giebel had the idea that perhaps a trade in specimens with Europe could be established from here.

TRANSLATION Dear Doctor, T am very happy to have received your letter, My sincerest thanks for your notes which are very useful to me, With regard to the shrub which I have seen near Falling Spring on the limestone hills, but with fruits, and which certainly is either Taxus or Taxodium, you might perhaps be interested to see it yourself sometime. Thuya grows wild here just like the junipers, apart from them no other conifers. Taxus grows in Winnebago Co,, also Pinus Banksianz and Strobus. I am especially interested in your note about the beech. \hether it also wanders in Europe? Do you know the interestine paper by Vauppel about :+7 ZT have written an article about the o2ks in our area for the next issue of the Transactions of agri, Soc. of Tllinois with illustrations with which I took great trouble to make them come out well, I did not describe the single species, but wrote about the various parts, flower, fruits, leaves, buds, bark, wood etc. and 50 put the species together; of the neglected male amenta T at least described those growing here. Of those not growing here I unfortunately only had specimens not in flower and therefore I am interested in obtaining specimens of those every time of the year and of various ages. We have here only Q. alba, macrocarpa, Prinus discolor Mich., castanea, umbri- caria, tinctoria and rubra. hs far as tinctoria and coccinea are concerned, I believe that the number of our species should be reduced rather than increased; T have talked about that before and also in my 2bove mentioned article which will be printed during the summer and I shall take the liberty of sending to you, The kind existing mostly here is Michaux's var. sinecosa,. If there is a species of coccinea, it is certainly gaifficult to differentiate it according to the existing descriptions.” T am certain to receive soon Michawx's work on the American oaks, the illustrateds ïîn the new edition of Nuttal's Silva which Î dès * Lu} “The Californian Q. Kellogii Newberry is according to the illustration in P.

(10 issues for } Thlr, each) I have read Gay's work in the Ann. d, he considers Q. olivaformis as à species. The Set, Elaeobalanus seems rather mn doubtful to me, A. Prinus discolor also has squamae subulatae, at least very often, : 1 - \ My article encouraged me to work more on the o2ks and trees in general, There Le seems to be such a hurry to find new thinss s0 that there is great confusion still about the older things, f.i., Populus monilifera angulata anadensis angulisono EE = sabrigata.

I, therefore, decided to wait quietly here and to continue to work until a more favorable opportunity presents itself, You would do me a great favor if by corresponding with vou you would let me profit from your experience and should you have the opportunity of collecting completely unkown species as Brumelia, Borya, etc. and to send me specimens, I should be sincerely grateful, In any event, I sh211 go ahead and send you what you requested of the local,woody plants.

Apr. 28, 1859 Dear Doctor, I am sending you a part of Emory's journal which contains a paper about Vauppel's work, the following number which contains the continuation T do not have, that is why I wrote down the rest for you. The conifers which T found near Falling Spring up at the ddge of the bluff îis certainly no juniperus, but probably a Taxus, the foliage is very similar to that of Pinus abies. Had I found the shrub down near the ruins of the park, I should have thought it was planted; I cut off a piece at that time, but lost it later. Should you go over there, I should ask you for some specimens of Borya. Ï am beginning to make a living collection of the brushes by cuttings. The Paspalum is probably only a variety of P. fluctans Kunth. But what is the other one which was enclosed? Both are different. What is the enclosed little plant which is growing near springs between moss? I think it is a Lomentariaceae. Gay makes two large sections of the oaks, Esculus and Ilex among the first as sub-division TI. Robur Fol, membr. sinicata pinati v. lyrat lobis muticis, decidea Maturatio annae.

Febr. 25, 1865 Dear Doctor, Finally IT find some time to write to you. That I have a selfish reason for doing so you will see from the enclosed list of Southern Illinois plants which I should like to have and of which you may let me have one or the other or could you interest a botanist there to collect these for me? The woody plants I, of course, would like to have from al1 times of the year, Beginning of November I once spent half a day trying to obtain the roots of Nelumbium but without success, IT brought up several plants out of water several feet deep, but to my great disappointment I did not find a trace of a swelling, How is that possible? Didn't I choose the right time, but you wrote me that the tubers were already found in October and that they last all through the winter, Next year I shall dig a large ditch and fill it with mud and put into it the entire plant so that I can observe it at various times, Could you tell me whether the beech grows in Iowa? As improbable as it seemed to me, I found it ïin Olshausens Iowa mentioned among the trees of that state while it was not mentioned anywhere in the Geology of Iowa, My brother brought me specimens from Baton Rouge, La. I also thought that it did not grow there; does it still grow in Arkansas, Nuttal does not mention it anywhere, What does Nuttal mean when he mentions Populus angelisans* and what is the difference between Pop. monilifera and angulata, or is there none? Excuse all my many questions, It is either only one species or they get mixed up; usually one only finds the one mentioned and the other not all or vice versa, Also, I have no proof for the fact that Q. tinctoria and coccinea are probably one and the same, Dr, Walsh in Rock Island found out that the two species of Cynipos querc. coccinea and Cynipos quercui spongifera are identical, Since botanical geography is my hobby, I should like to buy several publications or at least to borrow them and which L'éan't find anywheres they are Riddel's Flora of western states, his Mlorula ludivicianae (New Orleans plants), Short and Peters' Kentucky plants (c2talogue) and Len Plants of Ohio (or Cincinnati?), You woul4 do me a ereat fevor if vou could acquire these or other catalogues of the western flors, For the agricultural society I described in the next volume of their Transections the "Trees in Winter" * Phe local one here is P, monilifera Aît, as it was described and illustrated by Van Eys and Reïinwardt, 8 10 MISSOURI | | BOTANICAL copyright reserved GARDEN = À with illustrations of the buds; unfortunately my drawings which I make as careful as possible usually are done very poorly, I don't know whether the legislature decides on the printing. Our Illinois Nat. Hist, Society is a very lame institution: most of their members are nothing but collecting-happy children; to get many specimens'' is the main thing, the best people, f.i. Dr. Walsh are stayine away. My brother went to Florida as contract physician, Leconte got him the job; my old and faithful collector Bischoff has been employed by the Expedition to Russian America as collector of insects; I have asked him to collect seeds too up there. The expedition is to go up along the coast from San Francisco. I envy these two people, because IT have to stay here, Family, a wife and ? 1/2 children, Sincerely, Fred Brende]l = - ; : . — mens " . . = à a = . . 0 14 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 "'Ssovr | | | BOTANICAL cm | copyright reserved GARDEN EAST hp P 2 Per er «T4 Pers Bt Gi 4 É Se _. 2e DEMI oder role à Bu RAA As ne A Le Done c- PES ELA, Let A4 27 75e Cpha2l 2 Las 272 Sr CS all el fs ne : | 7 / ace Pr av FPE As ess re # 7/14 ra RhbuteT us ed L—) Dé. pu) * XP: L=., certe 7, À 2 | A, ‘520 sy d ae 77 LT SA US D.

August 9th Peoria, Ill. TRANSLATION Peoria, August 9th Dear Colleague, With great pleasure I received you letter today, together with your article about the oaks and read it immediately with great interest. Since Lam often apt to delay my answers, I shall reply immediately this time. That we have not heard from each other for a long time is not entirely my fault. About four years ago I once sent you an unpublished work of mine about the geographical distribution of Euphorbia. Since I never heard any more about it, I began to doubt that you ever received it or that you vere/Th {tssed put it aside. Since it was not very important to me, and since I did not want to impose on you, I did not want to ask any more about it. The history of botany and plant geography are my main studies. Perhaps you saw in the Naturalist my article on 'Collected notes on American Oaks'. It appeared in the May and June issue 1670 +, Of Quercus imbricaria and coccinea we have here a specimen close to the city limits. There were originally three of them and in building a road it was supposed to be cut down, two had already been cut down when I intervened and contacted the Board of Supervisors to ask for grace for the third one and happily, I met with success. I have one specimen of Q. lyrata collected by Varey in Union Co. but without fruits. Without the label, I would have thought it to be Q. macrocarpa whose leaf shapes are very strange. I have a specimen from Georgia collected by my brother which cofresponds very much with the illustration in Michaux' (Chênes américaines). The Illinois specimen has much more dried up leaf lobes. As far as oaks are concerned, the fruits should always be sent with the specimens. If you permit, I should like to send you a package of plants about which 1 am in doubt, also some hybrid forms of Verbena. De Candolle puts Q. agrifolia in his Sect. I, par. 1 (ovula abortiva infera) and remarks especially that among other things he examined the fruits of this. I have examined a great number of these oaks and I always found the orula on top, just as you did as I see from your statement. I also grew some young plants, but they lived onty two years. I also had a Q. lobata from seed and kept it alive for six years in a pot, this year it died. I was in doubt so long as to where to plant it best and to find a secure place until it was too late. You ask me whether I am still busy with botany. Unfortunately too much s0, that is what my wife says. Unfortunately also, because I therefore remained LL EE 0 1 . 3 4 5. 6 7 8 9 10 MISSOURI BOTANICAL cm . copyright reserved GARDEN je a poor devil for, since with the exception of a large and valuable library IL have nothing. I could have had a good and large practice if the natural sciences had not taken up too much of my interest. IL also did not stay with one thing, because I studied everything I obtained in all branches of the natural sciences. Since I never liked my physician's practice and L also stayed in this profession only to make a living, I had always hoped to get a job as a teacher which would have brought me much more pleasure. However, since nobody offered me such a job, I never reached that goal. Now one gets old and older without having done anything satisfactorily. 1 hope you won't forget me in the future and make me happy by sending me similar writings; my best thanks. Sincerely yours, Friedrich Brendel * It is doubtful that the date given on top of this letter, namely August 9, 1952 is correct, since Brendel published his article about the oaks in volume 4 of the American Naturalist in 1870.

FRS, LEE ISSUES MISSOURI . BOTANICAL copyright reserved GARDEN Brenæl, Friedrich Ewc's by Englmann February 6th, 1877) Peoria, Ill. T'RANS LATTON Dar Doctor, My best thanks for your letter of January 21st. Your doubts cmœming my opinon about the terminal buds my be justified, especially sinœæ I did not make a clear finition of ny termina. I based ny opinion on the fact that in woody plants with buds standing opposite to each other, but without terminal buds, a terminal bud develops which represents a whole leaf circle, while the terminal bud of the species with altemate buds is only the terminal bud of the last dweloped member of a leaf circle going in to the spiral. Of course, this terminal bud usually œntinws into a Straight axle, but often, f. i. in the oaks there is very much doubt which of the opposite standing buds is the real one. I went far back in ny memory to find out where I had read something similar, finally I remenbered that Mræn oœ mde a similar remark many years ago with regard to the Linden. With regard to Qwrcus coccinea- I remarked in the June issw of the American Naturalist in 1870 the following : The Qwrcus œccinea, wherever EL found it here (Peoria) had a conical pointed tomentose fiv ridæd bud, with fiv rows o f Scales and I was sure I should never see it other#ise. Now I œt from Northem Illinois a nunber of specimens with the ac®ms and all other characters decidedly those of Q. œccinea, but som of them with smooth round buds, just as in Q. rubra. Apparently, there is a great nunber of intermediary forms between Q. coccinea and tinctoria on one hand and Q. rubra and palustris. Now to a matter which is dear to my heart and with regard to which I should like to hawæ your advicæ. For a long time I havwæ been thinking of Southem Florida and its flora where, as far as the plant œogranhy is conœmed, I hawæ a different opinion than Grisebach as described in his œogramhical distribution 0 L 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 cm copyright reserved D — o f the plants of West Indies and in the second wlumæ of his "Veætation dr Erde", which I also already expressed in an article in the American Naturalist as well as in Giebel's Zeitschrift. Grisebach not only underestimates the plants common to Southem Florida and the West Indies, but he also seems to assure that all plants which are marked Va or Ca-Fa are also growing in Southem Florida. O £f these, however, I have no List. Sincæ ny mans do not allow an exploration trip, it always remained an wnfulfilled wish. It now occurred to me that in this country sometines a rich man would sacrifiæ something for such purposes and that Shaw might be such a man. If this man would make the mans available if I promised him to deliver to him all the material I can find on this expedition, as seeds, dried and living plants, zoological material etc., I should like to undertake such a trip and, if necessary, to give him as a collateral for faithfully fulfilling the contract my not entirely worthless liblaIY. sinc® I kn®w the man only by name as the generous founder of a botanical garden, I should like to hear from you 1f it is advisæble to contact him without risking a blunt refusal which would be very painful to me. Would you haw the kindness to give me your frank opinion with regard to this project? I n©œw rather regret that earlier, when the opportunity to saw a little was more favorable, I just livd for the present and now will probably haw to live with ny large family from hand to mouth for the rest of ny life. However, crying dœsn't help.- - - Soon I shall take the liberty to send you a packaæ of plants, of which I am in doubt, for determination. I hawæ already arranœæd a set and would have sent it long ago if I were not afraid I might have forgotten samething and would hawæ to send a second shiprent.

TRANSLATICON RE Dear Doctor. 4 With pleasure I want to tell you what I know about the two ahls, Martin Vahl born 1749 died in 1804, He has never been in Greenland, traveled in the south of Europe and North Africa and worked on the Flora Danica (volumes 6 and 7) 2s the successor of Müller until his death, also West Indian vlants collected by Ryan, e Jens Vahl born 1796,died in 1854. J, said in his report about the rlants of Greenland in Rinks work, reprinted in Etzel's Greenland: "Of considerable more importance are the rich collections of Dr. J. Vahl, This tireless and careful collector stayed about nine years in Greenland with the support of the king. During this time he constantly trasveled between the south tin and the 73° NB and with penetrating eyes he investigated the country from 2 botanic2l viewvoint so intensively that it can h2rély be expected to get many new floristic contributions in the future." It does not say in which years this took place, probably between 1821-1836 during which time Hornemann's third edition of Fôorsôrg til en Dansk oeconomick Planteläre apne2red in which the plants collected by Vehl were deseribed, À In Lange's list I found: "Isoetes lacustris L, 60° -60°13!

After Hornemann's death (1841) Shouw and Vahl completed the Flora Danice in 1843, # n T1? 3 < 2 : In Musee botanique de Delessert a Frederick Vahl is mentioned of whom I don't know anything. Perhaps the first name is 2 mistake, possibly 2rising from Vahl, F. (filius). The collectors are listed according to countries whose plants Fr. rt > are in the Museum, 1. e,: Spitzberg, Greenland, Norway. Frederick Vahl. E. Robert Laestadius Martins Hornemann, Agardt. In a different place it says: Il (Martins) avait séjourné de nouveau au Spitzberg et dans la haie de la } Monsieur Vahl fils, These trips took place in the years 1838-39, In "Du Spitzber: au Sahara" Martins says on page 84: En 1838 et 1839, un botanist danois, Mfonsieur) Vahl et moi avons recueilli à Bell-sound, à Magdalena bay et aSmeerenberg 57 espèces. Possibly, this was both times a son of Jens Vahl, who was a botanist and named Fredick. However, I don't know anything about such one, But it is certain that the one botanizinge in Greenland was Jens Vahl, Photograph received, Best thanks, “ith friendly greetings, Ye 9 MISSOURI | BOTANICAL copyright reserved GARDEN D Ales À PE Pr 5 f A.

October 1882 Peoria, Ill, TRANSLATION RS Peoria, October 1882, I am enclosing herewtih, dear colleague, the 12th volume of DeCandolle with the request for your permission to keep the followine two volumes for sometime longer, Since TI am especially interested in the Labiateñne and this is a large family with many American and Mexican species, the work on them was à big job which, of course, took time, The hot season and the lerger practice which I have lately, delsyed the return of the volume. Please eycuse this. Since the beginning of August I have a partner, Dr, Bokoten, a physician with a very good scientific education and we have a lot of work to 00; LCR only very little botanizing, only when I ha@ to travel through the country I . used the opportunity. These days I found a Cassia (according to the fruit and habitus) of which I am in doubt, In Gray's flora only three are listed of which two are common, however, not the third, In Beck's botany another species is listed C,. fasciculata, the description of which corresponds with my specimen in so far as the flowers (or fruits) since I did not find it in flower have latera21 fascicles (15-20 fruits). The fruits curved and ascending, The flowers do not correspond, because they have double pinnates (Approximately 10 pinnates), the leaves very small oblong, 1 nerve and uneven at the base, Stems woody, smooth, Root long and tough, somewhat knotted and Slanting, It is growing in sand at the lake shore with Crotalaria sagittalis, Polanisia graveolens, Clematis Viorna etc. When I have sorted out the plants collected this year, I shall send you those specimens about which I am in doubt and ask you to determine them.

Your kind letter which I just received was a great pleasure. It is not my Le e TT + * s se L D fault that the work found its way to Hungary. In the beginning it was my intention to have 2 friend in Germany look over the vegetation conditions here, Since, however, the work was rather voluminous, I thought I might just as well rublish it, My friend Koch wrote me that the Regensburg Flora w2s willing to print it if the charts were omitted, I had received the same request vreviously from other journals, so I tola them I could not agree to that, hut I did not want to have anything further to do with it, that he could do with it hat he pleased, Finally, after several years I received the news that Otto Hermann of the Hungarian Nation2l Museum who was in contact with L. Koch because of spiders, wanted to print the whole work. So it appeared "at the other end of the world", unfortunately with so many printing mistakes of which I found several not yet corrected after I had send you a copy. I do not want to make a mere translation into English, nor an excerpt as Karl Müller in Halle did in his "“Natur'"'. But I had intended to re-edit and enlarge +4 the whole work and to publish in book form if TI could expect to at least cover my costs. As far as Plantago is concerned I have to admit that Ÿ did not pay any attention to it at all since I considered it to be the introduceä Pl, major. After I had read your letter I looked it up in Gray's Flora of North America and found there that it was easy to make a mistake i more carefullys this should happen next year. +4 . j Au Dr. Schneck in Mt, Carmet is resvonsible for Nuphar sagittifolia. | | : yet seen the plant, since he promised me a specimen*, but has not sent it vet. The above-mentioned Dr. Ludwig Koch is a nephew of the botanist in Erlangen and the son of the spider Koch, and is now himself a main authority in this field, I have often sent him local spiders, while he sent me a copy of his beautiful work about e- e s ne nié - L L” "+ , Australian spiders which, however, because of =n eye injury of Koch's, h2s been continued since the 20th issue by Cœxht Eugen Keyserline in Glochau. The latter one 21s0 sent me erigredae)., Should you have 2 spider collector in St. Louis, it would be desirable if I could get some time such little snim2ls in alcohol for the two gentlemen. Do you know whether Bolander is still or again in San Francisco. As far as I know Fa Z he once wandered off to Guatemala.

Did you also notice that the ear is sometimes branched at the top. I have such a specimen, I also assume that a Plantago which I received from Vercy under the name of sparsiflora (collected at Mound City) is nothing else but a stunted P, Rugelii., Too trusting, I put it in my herbarium, but since I had the same experience with other determinations by Vercy, I shall be more careful in the future, According to Gray this plant exists only in S. Ca, and Ga,, or do you know of other localities? This means we h2ve to include Pl. Rugelii and to remove P, sparsiflora, whether also Pl. major descends till here we shall see next summer, Shoula you have a durlicate of P, sparsiflora, TI should like to have it, Do you know the plant catalogue of a Flora of Nebraska by Angley? I suspect it also to be "'œuesswork!', The comparatively 12rge numbers of eastern nlants listed thereïin made me suspect th2t the man listed many he h2s not seen 2s growing there, Such unbelievable statements are, f. i. Aesculus flava, Virburnum pauciflorum ns I, nn ones DE UE (see list attached) Since I am especially interested in plant geography, such things are embarrassing to me, He lists 1718 vascular plants of which at least 25 percent are strictly western, among which are several which as far as I know, do not descend from the Rockies to the Plains, Should you discover in my work any mistakes with regard to distribution, please let me know, T myself consider the work incomrlete and in need of improvement, therefore, IT shall accept any corrections gratefully, How is it with Catalpa speciosa? Is the species recognized? Gray does not give it or is your description of a later date? We planted both species here, but predominantly speciosa,. Also C. Kaempferi you can find here and there, Yes, so many things need to be discussed and I had wished for a long time to go to St, Louis. Only the worry about the daily bread keeps me here. 6 living children out of 12! I just married too early. Soon I shall received a box with German: nlengd (Silesian Exchange Society), I sha11 send you a list, let me know if you need any of them.

Gray omitted them, while he nuts Eliottia with the Ericaceae, But also Serano does not list them in his Index under Polypetalae, IT still have many more questions, but enough for today.
