Dear Sir,

Please accept my thanks
for your kind information concern-
ing a plant I sent you. The [?]
Ciliosa.

My [puzzling]? however has just entirely
ceased. I use Gray's [?],
and in describing The [?] R.
it gives 8-12 seeds as a [?].
I have experienced very many spec-
imens from the bud to the developed
pod and [?] find [?] ovules
or seeds. Never more.

Can I farther trespass on your time
and patience for light on this point?
It seems to me [?] that Gray is [?]
in giving - throat [short]?.
Corolla 1-1 1/2 many are 2' or more.

Very truly,
C.W. Preston.
