Ad. Meier jun. I had already convinced myself that my request for specimens would not be fulfilled by such a busy physician and such an active representative of the natural sciences in St. Louis. Therefore, I certainly treasure the plants you sent me. Please accept my warmest thanks! Everything was very interesting to me and without any exception new for my herbarium, even though I have worked on some of them at Prof. Braun's. The material before me again con- firms my belief that the sex is of minor value with regard to the generic separation within the family of the Alismaceae. Of North American Al. and Najadaceae I am only lacking Potam, Tuckermanni, pauciflorus, pauciflorus var. njiagarensis, Potam. lucens, Echinodorus rostratus and radicans. Furthermore, of course, my American Juncus species are very incomplete. I hawe not written this letter to go with the previous steamer, since 1 was waiting for Braun's reply concerning your shipment. Last Sunday I received a few lines from him which he has written starting out on a trip to Switzerland. Unfortunately, he has aged physically very much during the last years; many illnesses of his children and the death of his son did not go by without leaving some traces. He had to stop his lectures this summer for many weeks because of a throat illness, but now he seems to feel better--his mind is active as ever and rich with a broad knowledge, also friendly and helpful. We younger ones love him as if he were our own father. I am sorry that you did not express any wishes with regard to collections you would like to receive. Don't you wish to receive any German plants? I should do everything I can to satisfy you, and ask you to believe this as not being a polite phrase. I don't wish to impose on you with further reauests for plants; however, should you ever have a young man there who would like to enter into an exchange shipments with Germany, I shall be glad to comply with this providing he would take care of my special requests. From the Smithsonian Institution I have not received anything for a long time and, of course, also not your papers which you were kind enough to send me. However, I thank you very much for sending them. Some months ago, I wrote to Mr. Ad. Meier and asked him whether he could obtain for us the publications of your Society (Academy) which are missing here completely, among many other things»: Br Perhaps this is only possible for him to do with great effort and expense; then he should disregard my request. Please give him my regards as well as to his associate, Mr. Rust. I remain, with great respect, Your devoted Dr. Fr.

Especially since all are rare species and all new to me and therefore more than welcome since I have only very few North American juncus species. Please accept my sincerest thanks. Up to now, the North American species were too tangled up for me since I just did not have enough material and the books are not of much help in this respect. ÜObviously, Torrey created a lot of confusion in his Flora of North America. Asa Gray separated the various species much better, but did not go far or deep enough. Your paper about juncus will therefore be very welcome and I ask you very much to send it to me as soon as possible. In sincerely hope that you will be successful with the Herbar. Junc. Am. and ask you to reserve one copy for me. I have sent (via the Smiths. Instit.) a copy of my little paper about juncus to your Academy as soon as it was published which, of course, was meant to be for your use. Since you now received a copy from Prof. Braun you have your own copy. It is impossible for me to make any remarks today about the plants you sent me. The last fourteen days were too immensely exciting to think of any scientific work. The history of our common fatherland was developing so quickly that it was hardly possible to find enough peace for the daily work. May God grant victory to the Prussian army; this is our daily prayer to Him who leads the destiny of all nations and who will not condemn our great people to its sorrowful political role which it had to play up to now& I myself was born in Kassel, but I shall celebrate the day when Hessen becomes part of the Prussian monarchy as one of the happiest days in my life, E I have sent the package to Prof. Braun, but war events are causing postal delays and I hope that it will reach him safely. With regardsto juncus pelocarpus, I believe that my specimen from Grisebach does not belong to it. With this thick veil covering this species and which I was unable to lift with my literature and my limited material, I was not able to reach this decision earlier. Therefore, I am very curious to hear your diagnosis and description of this species. The specimens sent to me are exactly like those of Meier's. Therefore, this species justifies this interest which I devoted to it. I was very much surprised to hear your diagnosis of the inflorescenses and I shall v 1 2 3 4 5 = 7 8 9 710 MIıSSOURI | BOTANICAL cm copyright reserved GARDEN a give all my attention to find one of our species with single flowers to prove the correctness of your opinion.

The package contains plants from Prof. Alex. Braun who sent them to me to forward them to you, and furthermore a number of Convolvulaceae plants from me, Juncaceae, Najadaceae and Alismaceae. Some very beautiful plants are among them and I hope you may find many of interest to you. My interest has become much greater through your shipment of North American Juncaceae. Your determination partly differs very much from the previous conceptions; this is especially true with regard to the difficult species with knotty articulated leaves. I am very curious about your division of J. pallescens lam. Please send the separate of this work which you were kind enough to promise me. I am anxious to learn whether you also paid attention to the shape of the seed coat, i.e. less with regard to the presence or absence of a white small appendage as to the structure proper of the brown pod. I find that this has very pretty characteristics but the herbarium specimens are not very useful in this respect because unripe seeds are of no use. If I asked your opinion with regard to plants, please let me know your opinion, also with regard to the Mexican plants which I, as Alex. Braun asked me to, took out of my reserves. Of other plants I especially would like to know: Narthecium americanum all Luzula species Juncus setaceys -- Rosth. J. maritimusL.(Roemerianus Scheele?)

Again it was very rich in interesting material for me. Whoever, as you, is surrounded by the richest material, has an entirely different judgment than I who has before him only the scantiest of material. I am answering you tüday to let you knüw I have hät received the fürst part of your work. I only learned of it from the issue of the Transactions which your Academy sent to our Natural History Society. In your letter of November, you mentioned that you would send me, after completion of the printing, a copy of the whole work by mail. I, therefore, should appreciate very much if you would do that. Don't worry about my species making. I am very careful with systematic decisions (or what one thinks they are) than most anybody else. Otherwise I could have given to the world dozens of (perhaps bad) new species; but I know how easy it is to be faced by the threatening punishment of the synonyms. I am now satisfied with regard to J. Roemerianus since you saw the original specimen; however, not so much, as I state frankly, with regard to J. stygius americanus; I, therefore, wish very much to be able to compare plenty of material of this. The growth condition of Juncus and Luz. shall occupy me next summer; some facts I have already gathered, some were also described by Jestch Obviously, many interesting things can be found there. I ask you if you select plants for me again to pay special attention to the rhizomes, since I am unfortunately not able to study the live American plants. With regard to the structure of the seed, I am not entirely in agreemeent with you in some points; it is the name of s. linelolata. When I first studied your seed table, I was always confused by the fact that I also saw a lateral line in these seeds, mostly of the same strength as the vertical lines, seldom weaker. Shouldn't it be natural to all these seeds s. transverse reticulata, since indeed the narrow transverse small pits or grooves are surrounded by elevated rims all around. s. lineolata probably has no or very seldom elevated vertical lines. I talked about this in a small paper concerning the seed coat of the German Juncaceae which I shall send you as soon as it comes from the printer and ask you to reply. I have sent Braun immediately your (unfortunately very much delayed) Iso@tes. They must have arrived (even though he did not expressly mention it) since in his 8 9 10 MIıSSOURI | BOTANICAL copyright reserved GARDEN Pr last letter he talks about the American species of this family on which he was Just working, and which are very difficult to differentiate. Unfortunately, the University business is a great burden on him. We probably hope in vain for a description of the morphology which he could give us with his masterful hand. Dr. Pfeiffer, vulgo ng Pfeiffer" has now become 'snail Pfeiffer! ". He works mostly on land snails and is the publisher of '"Malakozoogische Blätter". Recently I heard that he was working again on a major botanical work, of dictionary contents, I believe an Index of all original literature sources where plant? are published. This would be a colossal work'. He is a somewhat peculiar, quietly retiring living private scientist. And now at the end, my heartiest greetings. With my expression of sincerest respect, I an, Your most obedient Dr. Fr. Buchenau Bremen 22nd March 1867 P.S. Should some of the living Juncaceae go through your hands, I should like to ask you to reserve one or more for me unpressed; it is then much easier to study the rhizoma. The citation from Sprengel I wanted to copy for your information, but unfortunately we have only the third volume of "the new discoveries" in our library. 01203456 7 8 9 10 Missour | | | | . | BOTANICAL cm copyright reserved GARDEN 37 £ H- DD | SER) TE € SI es A +2 ,? nn a IR HUL22 HH Ph / : en 7 g E P%) Fa 2 > 4 >» A en en : 4 2 Sf 2 4 I , y: Pr P. u s £ R “ ? ; #- 4 Lie. ei HÜ ale hr a San - a I m > . > Pr # z 7 Pu > 2 ‚ 2 “ e , e- 27 .

Since they regard scientific objects, I hope you will excuse my request. Lately, I have been working on an Index criticus AliSmacearum which should be similarly arranged as the Index of the Juncaceae, which I recently sent you as printed matter. Now, I am lacking statements concerning some of the American plants as far as the original locations are concerned and I should appreciate it if you could give me these. Should there be plants involved which you yourself described, I should, of course, appreciate it if you could send me a separate of your work. In order to make it easier for you, I wrote my questions on a separate sheet and in such an order that you just have to write down the expected answers. I am very curious to receive the end of your Juncus work and hope to receive it soon. I hope you will make us all happy with it. I am enclosing a short paper I wrote concerning two new Juncus species of the Himalayas, in case the weight of the letter permits it, otherwise I shall send it under separate cover.

You know that the Elodea canadensis (Anarcharis) growshvery extensively in Europe wherever it has been introduced and already caused many thousands of Thaler in dredging expenses. Now, there exists the very peculiar condition that we in Europe have only the female plant; therefore, it never fruits and only reproduces by budding. Now, since we never heard any eomplaints from America about an overgrowth of this plant, I had the idea that perhaps the growth might be stopped by the formation of seed. For this, male plants would be needed. Would you have the kindness to send a number of male plants, as soon as they are recognizable, packed in a glass with water, to Mr. Julius Focke, c/o E. Pavenstedt & Co., New York, through whom you will receive this letter. These gentlemen will have the kindness to give these plants to one of the captains of the North German Lloyd steamers. It is worth a try. I have received the sheets 31 and 35 of the 5th edition of your Manual which you kindly sent me and I have used them already extensively. Many thanks for them! I still should like to have an exchange connection in North America. Perhaps you know the name of a younger botanist or ask one? All representatives of the American flora would be welcome, especially I should like to have plants from the families: Rosaceae (especially Rubus), Salicaceae, Pavonia, Alismacdae, Juncaginae, Juncaceae, Najadeae. In exchange I could send a great number of plants from all parts of Germany. A second good opportunity to send Anarcharis male plants might be through Dr. G. Engelmann, who, as I learned from a letter just received, is planning a trip to Europe and will certainly see you in Cambridge before leaving. With great respect, I remain, Yours obediently, Bremen, 6th February 1868. Dr. Franz Buchenau Could you arrange that your Manual gets into the German book trade?

I have received then, with much delay, but in good condition; however, without being able to find out who sent them to me here. Among them was the peculiar Juncus Kelloggi, then J. Parryi, the third form of J. triformis. These beautiful things made me curious, more than ever, to receive the end of your work in the Transactions which we unfortunately have not yet received. In this connection, it occurs to me that I have to renew my old request for a separate of your work in the Transactions. You know, without me telling you more about it, how important it is for me to have such a separate. I am very happy to hear you intend to fulfill your old promise to visit Europe again. How much changed you will find the fatherland which once you had to leave! You left a country torn apart, sunken into a dark slumber and shall find a mighty nation united in most important matters. Hopefully we shall meet personally and can exchange our opinions concerning the seed coat and the inflorescences. With regard to the latter I collected some material concerning the history of the development without, however, being able to reach a different opinion than that the flower, for instance in J. bufonius has a terminal with four front leaves. Could you perhaps before leaving North Americanarrange an exchange connection for me?. I should like to have more North American plants, for instance, Alismaceae, Juncaceae and Najadeae for myself, as well as all other families for the herbarium of our Museum to which I have given all my plants with the exception of the above-mentioned three families. I could send much in exchange. You, your- self will probably not be able to bring anything for me in the confusion of packing. Do you know the Alisma species tenellum Mart; from South and Middle America? And how do you differentiate them from your Echinodorus parvolus? I believe (even though I have only a very small specimen from your plant from the hb. reg. Berold.) that they are identical. The South American plant seems mostly to have less carpels in the flower; any specific difference I was unable to find between these two. Recently, I have asked Asa Gray to send me some male plants of Elodea canadensis (Anarcharis) in order to try whether by developing a fruit one is able to Stop the tremendous sprouting of this plant in Europe (where only female plants are existing). Should it be possible for you, please bring me a few ina gla?s 9 10 MISSOURI | BOTANICAL copyright reserved GARDEN a, of water. Fighting this plant in Europe really costs a lot of money annually. Now, farewelli Hopefully I shall be able to greet you intthe fatherland! Your devoted, Dr. Fr. Buchenau Bremen, 7th February 1868.

I am only keeping some of J. pelocarpus and triformis which I could not yet compare in detail. Since your departure I was very busy with school work so that I could do little scientific work. I was just barely able to have the plants dried which we collected together and to study the Juncus rhäzoma which you brought me.-- 50, I missed the pleasure to greet you before your departure on Friday. However, Mr. Rust brought me your picture which is excellent and for which I thank you very much. One of mine shall follow soon. Only after your departure I remembered that I still have some J. articulati of Al. Braun's. I shall determine them as soon as possible according to your revisio and then send them to Braum who,, of course, would like to have them determined by you. We then have the advantage to see how far I understand your divisions and whether our opinions always agree.

Dr. George Engelmann Dr. Doctor, I should have answered your kind letter of June 12th a long time ago had I known your address; however, Mr. Rust was absent for a long time at a spa and Dr. Ascherson is a lazy writer so I couldnit get it. Now you will have some lines and greetings from me. It will not be much more since I am now overburdened with work. My entire position has changed since the end of July because the director of our school, Prof. Dr. Gräfe, died suddenly and I was put in charge of the institution indefinitely. Apart from 24 lessons weekly, I also have to take care of the administration of the institution, to make the preparations for the winter semester, report cards, transfer of students and in this month also the military examinations. So you can imagine that I am getting quite dizzy sometimes and that I could not work on botany at all. 3lst August, evening. Now you see how things are with me, for eleven days the letter was sitting on my desk and I was waiting in vain for a quiet hour to finish it. All day long (if I am not at the school) people are coming and going as if my place were a pigeon loft and in the evening I often am entirely exhausted, which usually did not happen before. However, beginning in October I shall have to give fewer lessons and then I can return to my favorite studies. I have your work here for a long time, already translated. There are very many remarks to make since you incorporated so many things about which we have corresponded before. Still, there are many details I have to write to you about. Some things need to be changed right away. It probably will be better to wait until you finish your European trip before we publish it, because you certainly will find many interesting things in the great herbaria and may be able to find out more about Juncus LaPylsi. I am expecting the Juncaceae from Liebnau (or at least samples of them). I am very curious to see the J. trinervis of which I suspect that it is identical with your phaeocephalus, 7 8 9 10 MIıSSOURI BOTANICAL copyright reserved GARDEN nr R My observations regarding the Juncus rhizoma were not changed much. In June I had to make a trip to the Rhine in order to visit new schools, in July the sudden death happened and together with the care for a dignified funeral ceremony, I had to take over the full burden. With great difficulty I was able to steal one day out of the summer vacations in order to make a very restoring trip to Wangenooge and Spickenooge. My critical review of the Alismaceae and Butomaceae is presently at the printers, so I am rid of this work at last for which I collected so much. To make the necessary corrections later is a great bother. Your Echinodorus seed unfortunately did not germinate; did you hear something about that from Berlin? The Agave, however, is coming up very well. J. conglomeratus and effusus are hard to define. I have studie= them care- fully for years. Differences in the dates of flowering, the capsules, the leaf sheaths are the same in thousands of specimens, even the much rarer J. conglomeratus it is locally (dry heather or something like this) growth among effusus and then after a long search one finds a middle form which lacks all the characteristics to declare it a bastard, the pollen of which are developed normally and the fertility remains unchanged. Real effusus shows not very seldom coiled inflorescences, on the other hand, congl. with flat inflorescences is much rarer. But also in the shape of the fruit and the building of the stem, there are certain differences, even though very seldom. Please exploit the Alps as much as you can with regard to Juncus and study the leaves carefully. How I would like to be with you there and we could make a race in drawing and making notes!'

Engelmann, Kreuznach Dear friend, Your kind letter of the 16th of this month arrived just an hour ago and I shall answer it immediately, since I have a quiet hour Saturday evening which now doesn't happen very often. I was so happy to hear that you had such a beautiful time with such wonderful impressiorsßand rich in scientific discoveries. Who has the inclination to make such studies as you did, will profit from seeing all these collections. Certainly, your studies of the conifers have profited much by talking to Parlatore; then we shall soon hear more about them. I am sure there are not as many genera in existence as described. Things have not gone very well for me during the last seven months. I was physically well ( and also my bad migrainf headaches did not bother me too much), but we suffered here in the house very much from the whooping-cough of the children, and my wife also had an attack of it). Everybody is well now, enjoying our beauti- ful green woods and we hope for a complete convalescence at the sea (middle of July to middle of August) which the doctor prescribed for us. I did not do much scientific work. After a long time of my temporary position (after the death of my dear director, of which I wrote you earlier), the Senate appointed me director of the school with the title of Professor, a large school (12 classes, 450 students). However I did not have the time for any scientific work this title implies! Already, prior to my appointment, one of my best and capable teachers died of a chronic kidney infection; in January another one became very ill so that he had to be pensioned off. That meant I had to get three new teachers. On top of all that came the new burden which befell the institution due to the military conditions, fighting some sloppiness, teachers who had to be reformed, doing only half their duty, which they were used to and had to be watched constantly --finally the other things I have to do, of which I shall only mention the teacher's examination commission and the military examinations, so you won't be surprised when I tell you that I hardly took a plant package in my hands; the microscope is sitting next to me packed up, which hadn't been the case for the last thirteen years and during the entire winter, I probably did not do ri more than five flower analyses! But things will be better. As soon as this Whitsun will be over, I shall have considerably less work to do since the school will be better organized and I shall only have to give 8 to 10 lessons per week. Ihe identity of J. phaeocephalus with Liebmann's trinervis I already determined last summer at the Copenhagen specimens, as well as the correctness of my determination of Schaffner's Juncus as J. brevifolius Liebm. Ihe J. aemulans Liebm., however, is still not clear to me; I did not have the time to make an exact study of it. I ask you very much to go over the collected material from North America so that we may finally make available my translation of your work to the European botanists, since the Transactions St. Louis are notwwidespread enough. I also should like to know at what time you intend to return to North America. I should like to prepare a pretty package for you by that time. With friendly greetings to your wife, Your devoted Buchenau Rust is very well.

Engelmann, Berlin Dear friend, As l promised you, I shall give you some information regarding the trip from here to America. September and October are the months when the cabins of the departing steamers are most crowded, since that is the time when the people who went to the spas here are returning. It would be advisable, therefore, to book the cabin as soon as possible. The trip from here to England and then after staying there a week, does not count as one trip; however, the difference in price is rather minimal, namely only approximately 6 Thaler. Enclosed you will receive the manuscript for your perusal. In this regard I have to make a few remarks. 1) In the headline, the work is called a translation; however, this is no longer true and shall become less so by incorporating more things; therefore, the title should be changed. 2) I ask you not to include changes and addenda in the manuscript, but to put them on separate sheets; for this purpose, the sheets are continuously numbered and each sheet may be designated easily, i.e. 18, page 3. -- Only in such cases where I was doubtful regarding the correct wording during the transla- tion, I ask you to give your opinion (in pencil at the edge of the page). 3) I believe the genera should be numbered new and continuously. 4) Should the references to the herb. norm. be included? 5) The preface, of course, does not apply any more in its present form Do you want to write a new one or should it be limited as much as possible? 6) The similar case arises with the geographical distribution on sheet 6. 7) I have already gone over the summary of the genera on sheet 5. Just as the supplements of everything entered in the second part have been entered into the part; in this case, however, I think it is necessary to point out those names in the first part which have been superseded by the second part, i. e. the first division of J. scirpoides as well as the designation of Juncellus etc. to add as notes, since otherwise the reader has no basis if he finds these names. ne .- |! EN u RE a ER N EEE 0120345678 9 10 YISSOUuR! BOTANICAL cm Br copyright reserved GARDEN FR = ö) The names J. trigonocarpus Steud., trinervis Liebm. etc. naturally have to be added, i. e. have to be included. 9) What is Juncus odoratus Torr? (See Steudel p. 304, no. 130.) Couldn't we omit this name entirely? Br 10) Have you been able to see J. cyperoides Lah./to determine it? 11) The same is true with regard to J. vacillans Steudel, p. 305, no. 118.

BOTANICAL copyright reserved GARDEN Buchenau, Fr. 1872, May 21st Bremen, Germany TRANSLATION Bremen, 21st May 1872 Dr. G. Engelmann, St. Louis Dear Doctor, Your letter of 30th January of this year is still before me and reminds me of my guilt in not having sent you an answer--which I delayed from day to day so that I would really have to tell you something. However, even now it is difficult for me to carefully answer all the points you mentioned in your letter since my time hardly allows it. First, however, many thanks for the letter and the enclosures (J. triformis and the diagrams of Echinodorus). -- Unfortunately, the seeds of Sagittaria calycina did not germinate here, even after several trials. Is it possible that they lose the capability to germinate so quickly outside water? The sketch of Echinodorus probably proves that it would not be good to make a species division between Echinodorus and ? and those with spiral stamens. I shall see whether the conception of the arrangement of the spirals is not based on an error, Since also these things develop probably from three originally simple arrangements by splitting. Your Juncus triformis deficiens is--most shocking!. (The last two words were written/English and underlined with red pencil, probably by Engelmann. C.L.) My little specimen unfortunately did not contain any seeds any more in the capsules. Had you not written explicitly that you took out the seeds from the capsules yourself from both species, I should have believed there was a mix-up«. Ihe newest among the German rushes is Juncus sphaerocarpus from Weimar, a thing which by its extraordinary branches, almost bulby lobes is wery different from J. buf, but in a peculiar way growths in the rows of J. buf. and only in such places, so that one is inclined to believe that we may deal here with a newly developed species from J. bufonis. Grown before our eyes, interwoven with the mother form and also connected through some crossings (bastards?) with one another and still an enigma!-- You will receive it soon. I did not have much time for collecting during the last two years. My office with all its many other businesses takes up more and more of my time and only when the school will be divided (in 1 - 1-1/2 years) may I expect some rest.-- I am often occupied with the work on the plants brought back from the 2nd German = z ne . 01203456 7 8 9 10: Mıssour! BOTANICAL cm | copyright reserved GARDEN TR North Pole expedition. Focke and I worked on the vascular plants, and I was also the editor; that meant, of course, a lot of work, but I believe the work will be good. Please send me good specimens of your Sagittaria Calycina in flower and with fruits; also, I should like to remind you of your promise to obtain Echinodorus radicans for me. I have not been able to obtain South American Juncus specimens in sufficient amounts to work on them. At home we had much trouble. My dear wife became very ill after the birth of a little boy (Nov. 1870) and was bedridden for 5 months; even now she has not recovered her full strength and, therefore, will go to Pyrmont shortly. I myself was miserable during the whole last summer because of the worry, trouble and overwork and almost became a hypochondriac. Three weeks spent at the sea restored me; I used my stay there to collect material for a flora of the East Friesland Islands, which then was written by L. Nöldenke, and appeared in the last issue of our Transactions. Braun is very busy with his disgusting fight with the Leop. Academy and had had much trouble; however, he is well, and works much. I saw him last in May 1870 when he was fascinating and gracious as usual. I remain with hearty greetings, Your devoted Fr. Buchenau I am sending you enclosed two small papers from the Transactions and especially draw your attention to the studies on Salicornia. Perhaps you could send material from North America. Did you see more of Juncus Cooperii and could you supplement the diagnosis? I was glad to hear that J. maritimus has been found again near New York. You may remember that I owned a specimen of a small Juphl1? from the vicinity of New York which caused much attention. If you have time, please write me sometime the title of the flora of Utah and Nevada which contains your Jucca paper and where one can obtain the book. ” ie: En EEE ug Ö 1 2 3.04 5 6 7 8 9 710: MISSOURI BOTANICAL cm | copyright reserved GARDEN AN u Bee eo PaRaR WS \ IA r %%s RN Baia. “ NN y \ x | \h N An Bee: Gr WER L: ea — LE —uechum rot rer IA aan A nn gg Sun Lau Fa ee.

Engelmann, St.Louis Dear friend, Your kindly sending me your excellent work about Yucca reminds me to send you a greeting again and at the same time to thank you for sending this to me. The Yucca shows somebody not close to it a really surprising number of species. I hope you will hear more from me soon. I was able to withdraw a little bit from the tremendous administrative work and was able to think again of something scien- tific. During the last months I was able to work on the Juncaceae of the Cap of which I have one of the best collections here, and hope to finish the work soon. I have used for these studies mostly Sander's Cape plants, in any event, one of the most complete colleetions in existence. But don't believe that I don't work on anything else. On the contrary, probably never before had I so much work to do in my office. My school has nOW 18 classes, beginning in autumn 19 classes and is expanding so that I decided already three years ago to divide it; now, finally, the work on the second building has started and after its completion, which will, however, probably take two years, I shall have more time for myself. At the present, we are much occupied with the coming International Agricultural Exhibition. The thing is going to take place on such a large scale that it will show us many more interesting things; also a congress of the German agricultural chemists is going to take place during those days. Unfortunately, I have not seen our friend Braun since last spring and am afraid he has become quite old. On the other hand, his works still have the stamp of his old mental freshness. I hope God will keep him for us for a long time to come! I ask you kindly to find out whether your Academy has received all our publica- tions (Transactions and supplements in 4 issues). Bya mistake, our secretapy did not enter it into the lists and it is, therefore, possible that you are lacking the issue® of the 3rd and 4th volume. Should this be the case, I shall fill your gaps. With best greetings to you and yours, Your devoted Buchenau Focke's Rubus studies made good progress and he will soon publish a row of works. Rust's country place is now almost finished. It really took a long time. 0123456 78 9 10: Mıssourt | | BOTANICAL cm copyright reserved GARDEN s se 4 ae ARE Sophie Au Lin fe ar Lk ag Mare SL PG mn Al gran Eei Tage EERTERE Au ur ; f) de ee gg a ne Ber en oo. ae) ee > _ FE FE ee 7 10 MISSOURI BOTANICAL copyright reserved GARDEN GE N OTANICAL GARD N Missouri B nn we; or ‘ 7 S : 5 u Zr JE u a Ir Ars mL Aal Sa nie nu Aue ku Aa L N £ 3 x GEORGE ENGELMANN PAPERS a re yerGOgEnLE Ag men | R FR A mn BE) dee x ra A u en En gri Ar Laer -vuu sn Dow ae ad uni rc H u = Hin see Bag Dh bung. u + e AAGE ## wrrerere GL LEG < aan 4 ne ehe EEE aaa En nn a u ar ru u u 2 3 er 5 ; 78 zur 10° MIssour! .— | | | .

R. deliciosus is not being cultävated in Germany or, probably has been lost, therefore, W.O.F. was very happy to get it; but he also liked the other one: I am very happy to hear the favorable news from you. Just take it a bit easier in your profession so that we may be able to have some more results of your studies! Now you can do it since you turned over your practise to your son!-- My monograph about the Juncaceae of the Capfis now finished; however, the drawing of the (indispen- sable) tables will probably delay the publication. The work was very difficult; the more material I saw, the more I realized the lack of differences and was finally led to a wide species conception. You mentioned that you could give me Junc. from the Rocky Mountains etc. Please do so even if there great numbers. Since our connection is known, you can imagine that I am frequently asked whether I could furnish well determined North American Junc. I especially ask you for J. Cooperi for myself which I am almost entirely lacking. After finishing some smaller works, I shall begin the study of South American Juncus species; there is still not much known about them. By and by I have collected some, but there is no doubt that many more exist in nature. - Please see whether you have something. The country place of friend Rust is now finished, he himself has grown old; his experiences with the Kansas-Pacific R.R. were a great worry to him and made his hair white; we hardly see him any more in our Natural Science Society. I have sent him your greetings today immediately. About the European blackberries, Focke has already published in our Transactions. - Fare well! With best greetings to your wife, Your devoted Fr.

Your son ill so long--your dear wife dead-- these afflictions are almost more than one can suffer. We sympathize very much with you and wish from the bottom of our hearts that you may recover your strength and be restored by your profession and the so fruitful studies in the quiet, but beloved science. How often did my wife and I speak of you last summer, how you had been here with us in 1869 and that just 10 years have gone by and whether we will still have the joy of seeing you here again. But, I said then, our dear Braun is gone and,therefore, Engelmann would not like to come to Europe very much. How little did we know that during that time you had to suffer so much‘ We also had many illnesses to overcome. My wife had not recuperated for a whole year from a heavy attack of the measles and now she is suffereng from a female illness.-- My oldest children are grown up nOW, the oldest one is starting to go to the University next year; he is a very ambitious young person. His main interest is in hüstory and especially in numismatics. I have received your several very enjoyable shipments, the last one was the very excellent work on Pinus. Please, don't believe that such shipments, just because they don't deal with Juncus, are not more than welcome. I am using them right away in our City herbarium of which I now also am the administrator. I am very happy that you think for me of J. Halii and Kelloggii.-- Should you send me the duplicates of Juncaceae which you have amassed there, I shall conscien- tiously take care of them to your satisfaction and for the best of science. 1 frequently receive requests for well determined Juncaceae, hut I only have duplicates of very few species. The Juncaceae are for you only a step, but for me the most important thing to which I often return (from my work in my office, from flora of Bremen and from the work on '"Kunia" and the new flora of the East Friesland Islands). I am sending you again the "South American Juncaceae". It is ineredible that it should have been lost. Asking you to not forget Your most devoted Fr. Buchenau Should you have duplicates of any American monographs of plant species or / 8 9 710- MIıSssoUR1 BOTANICAL copyright reserved GARDEN en families or other treatments of taxonomie botany, you will always find me happy to receive them, since they are always very useful for our herbarium, since the American läüterature is hard to obtain here. There is much chaos in botany here. The younger men seem to want to turn everything topsy-turvy (morphology, anatomy and even taxonomy). One has to preach carefulness. However, I shall insist on J. Engelmanii, the name of palycephalus certainly was not used so much. The right of science to depend on decency is more important than the right of author to the name.

I had noiidea that you spent part of last year so pleasantly. I am very happy to hear that and hope that your health as well as the sciences shall profit from it. I am certain we can expect from you further publications on conifers and oaks (many thanks for sending me your works about this group!).--Through your contribution,the conifers in Bentham and Hooker had a much better result; there are still great doubts about many other parts of this immense work. I have published this winter a flora of the East Friesland Islands for which 1 had collected for a long time. These small parts of land, which have been neglected entirely until approximately 24 years ago, offered a very interesting field in plant geography, since their flora is a peculiar mixture of woody plants, sandy plants and salt plants.-- I have now to publish a real monograph on my Juncaceae since M. Micheli,gave up his plan to do them (for DeCandolle). I still need more morphological studies and studies about the history of development, but, I hope to be able to do this in the two coming summers. In this connection, may I draw your attention to the fact that the German Consul General in New York, Dr. Schumacher, is my cousin and is willing to send on to me any packages in the future whenever he has an opportunity.-- The winter has been very restless here through the lack of water in the city. I myself also had much to do with the printing of my flora and with my school books and the work on Madagascar (!) plants with which I have become rather involved by inheriting them from a young Bremen traveler. My family, for the first time ina long while, has been spared any illnesses. My oldest son, now 19 years old, will go to the University in October in order to study history and old languages. He is interested in archeology (archeological things, coins, gems, urns and similar things). The second one, Alexander, my complete image, still has two years to go until he will be ready for the University; he intends, much against my wish, to study law. Our oldest daughter will be confirmed April 1st; she will then go to the Seminar and become a teacher. - So the children are growing up and oneself is growing older. I, recently, became 50 years old and already celebrated here (on October 1 of last year) my 25th anniversary in office. My hearty greetings and thanks for having thought of me.

O. Focke have arrived. With the renewed expression of my sincere thanks I shall make some remarks concerning these ptants below. Juncus acutus (robustus Wats.). I agree with you that the Californian J. acutus should not be separated from the European; however, with regard to the plants from the Cape, it is somewhat different, since these differ through a constant difference of the fruit and flowers. J. Drummondii, very beautiful specimen. J. rugulosus Engelm. This very spectacular plant is, as I discovered with certainty by a thorough study thereof, an ill plant through too much shadow and extensive humidity and I, therefore, ask you not to describe it. Branches and fruit are extremely faded, the 6 stamens are crippled entirely. It seems to me it belongs to J. nodosus or acuminatus, whereby the existence of the inner stamens (J. acuminatus has usually always 3 stamens!) did not change my opinion since this happens not seldom in abnormal cases. I hope that our new mail connection will further our botanical exchange; it is easy and cheap. Should you wish to have something from me, I am ready to send it to you. I recently saw in the hb. Boissier a pecular Juncus plant: Label Hall., Pl. Oregon No. 547 and 548 (or 567 and 568?) which seemed new to me. It was described as J. nodosus. Could you get this plant for me?

Verein Bremen Dear Friend, Your last letter of August of this year (with the enclosed pieces of Hall. No. 547 and 548) arrived here in good condition and I thank you very much for it. I also have to thank you and tell you that your friendly notes which you sent me in June from the heights of the Rocky Mountains (with the enclosed specimens of Juncus Halli and Parryi!) arrived here.--All these news show me that your health is good and that your work is progressing. The specimens of Halli No. 547, 548 clear up the matter completely to our mutual agreement; I don't have the faintest idea how Boissier arrived at the description of J. acuminatus. I started only recently to work on these things since I was occupied for a long time with a work concerning Micheli's monograph on Butomaceae, Alismaceae and Juncaginaceae. I was several times in a position to take your side against Micheli. Had Micheli contacted me in time, I should have been only too willing to give him my entire material for his use; then I would have been spared the bother of making these corrections and would have saved the public the trouble of looking in two places. My work will appear in Engler's and you shall ceftainly receive a separate. Focke sent your galls to Prof. Thomas and has received a confirmation; since Thomas is a very diligent and conscientous man, we certainly will hear something about this work. You asked me whether you sent me plants which you collected in 1874 in the Rocky Mountains; this has not been the case--but I shall be very happy if you would do so. -- In any event, I should like to have more North American plants for our Museum. It is a pity that Hall cannot exchange.--Perhaps you hear sometimes of someone who would like to exchange--or perhaps you yourself could give us something. Consul General Dr. Schumacher in New York is always willing to send me packages. But (I believe) that since Nov. lst, also the American mail accepts packages up to 3 kg.» Please, let me know some time what Edw. Palmer. No. 384 from San Diego, California is. I have not seen the plant (a Juncus), but found it mentioned recently.
