In "hypoxys" the proper genus
for the small grass flowers
which are quite common
upon our prairies? The flowers
vary from blue to white or
cream in color, have a six-lobed [?]
ovary inferior, flowers in clusters
of about four, each, enclosed in
an involucre of one chaffy bract.
The above description is from
memory but I trust it is not
misleading, and sufficient for
your identification.

I trust my ignorance may
not prove annoying to you.

Respectfully Yours
Jennie Atkinson.
