capillitium, while in this plant
there are only plates or [?],
so that I am driven to the
necessity of referring it to
the genus Secotium under
the name Secotium Warnei Pk.
I intend soon to repair the
description but I have never
seen a fresh specimen and if
you should have the opportunity
again this fall to send me
a few I would like it. Alcoholic
specimens would not help me much
as I would like the colors of the
young plant. If you do not
have such opportunity have you any
notes of colors and prevailing shape.
It appears to vary much in shape
and some in stem.

Very truly Yours
Chas. H. Peck.
