9-27-33 Geranium molle L. Cote I 246, Box 57,
BVH 45, #536, SV/I 427 Flv fl. Villeneuve gas plant.
To pose question as to identity with its noted pubes and
glabrous, wrinkled fl. (Note: this and A. pusillum
were collected together, things to be the same and a?
A. pyrenaicum.)

9-28- Geranium pusillum L. Cote I 246, Box 57,
BVH 96. = A - Burn #535; SV/I 427 Book fl. Collected
with abov and blos it thought to be a small form
of G. pyrenaicum. Only 5 stamens have developed
anthers, tho' the other 4 5 shorter stamens sometimes
devolve into very small rudimentary anthers (this
may explain spec # 7-16-33) Petals only slightly
notched. Fr smooth & pubescent. Seed (like seed
of A. molle is very minutely grained (perhaps
will look smooth when quite ripe) but is "smooth"
in comparison with the very definite reticulation
of A. rotundifolium.
9-29-33 ? Myriophyllum verticillatum L. Cote II 86, Box
105, BVH 180, #664, SV/I 473 Ho fls fl. Lvs 4-5-6 in whorl (Sv),
the infraclis def broader than segments (4) and
tips of branches now forming what may well be
winter buds (SVK.) These items make ident. fairly
plausible.
