Correspondence 2, 1922–1926

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 2

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection consists of letters to Yuncker, many requesting determination of Cuscuta and exchange of specimens. Some letters concern his work on the genus for the North American Flora (New York, New York Botanical Garden, 1921); publication of his dissertation, Revision of the North American and West Indian Species of Cuscuta (Urbana, Illinois, University of Illinois, 1921, Illinois Biological Monographs 6[2–3]); and other writings. A very small amount of correspondence relates to Piperaceae. Also included are an 1833 letter from S. S. Weldin of Wheeling, Virginia, to the botanist Jonathan Roberts Paddock (1803–1878) of Worthington, Ohio; two letters from Charles Sprague Sargent (1841–1927) at the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University, to Wilhelm Miller (1869–1968) in New York, discussing cedars of Lebanon (Cedrus libani A. Richard) and recommending Alfred Rehder (1863–1949) for an Arnold Arboretum department; and handwritten excerpts by an unknown person from published works concerning Cuscuta. See the full list of correspondents and dates of letters in the correspondence inventory.
