Remarks["Hoar's single sheet was remounted on two sheets with Thoreau's original label staying with the two fertile stems of C. alata, and Hoar's original label put with the single fertile stem that was removed altogether from Hoar's mounting paper (which probably had No. 2 beside this stem). It is my opinion that all of these were collected at Moore's Swamp in July 3, 1859" R. L. Angelo (in litt.) 27 Oct. 2017]
