August 13, 1926. Mrs. W. B. Collom, Payson, Arizona. My dear Mrs. Collom: Your letter of August 3d is just at hand. Thank you very much for the information that you send me regarding the [[underlined]] Dudleya [[/underlined]]. I should be very glad indeed to get some specimens this fall. I am not familiar with the plant that you call the mescal plant from your region. Is this a Cactus? You ought to have it identified. If you wish to send me a specimen I will be very glad indeed to do this for you. I am leaving, however, in a day or two and shall be away from the city for about three weeks. Yours very truly, J. N. Rose Associate Curator, Division of Plants.
