225 KENTUCKY AVENUE WINTER PARK FLORIDA January 2, 1935 I Richard P. Wunderlin 1996 University of South Florida PLANTS OF FLORIDA <g^v ij^V- f Dear Doctor Small5 Thank you for your letter of December 20th. I expected to see you in Sebring, but when the ’’freeze" began I hurried home to try to save some of my tropical plants* That Volusia County Ilysanthes was in poor condition and I collected little. All X have is mounted,butl am mailing you the »sheet today* Will you please return It, also the Solldago and I other specimen in the ,package. The latter seems to be a I but the leaves are not "nearly linear or narrowly linear Where the Solidago grew there Was much limestone, the rocks Ayenla euphras1aefolia was abundant. The chief grass there was Bouteloua hirsuta. 1 have no specimen of the plant I^gjjessed might be a Card amine. growing in Weekiwachee Spring. I saw it from the glass-bottomed boat* It was growing 1$ masses on underwater rocks and was light green in color. In several places in Hernazido County X saw Pycnothymus rlgldus that had absolutely no odorl^" The freeze did much damage here. Th& astonishing thing is the hardiness of things supposed to be tender. My young Swietenia Mahftgonl, a small Ichthyomethia pisclpula, and Artabotrys odo«atlsslma are not harmed at all. I shall be very glad to .know the correct names sent you, especially the Ilysanthes tjaat you asked to see* Stamps enclosed for return of sg^cimens. Sincerely, Hygrophila brasiliensis (Sprengel) Lindau 03601971
