Remarks[“Aug. 18. P.M. - To Beck Stow’s [Swamp]. . .The lecheas in Great Fields are now turning red . . .” Journal 9: 8. 1856. "See by the high path side N[orth] of Moores Holly Swamp -- ap[parently] what I have called D.[esmodium] Dillenii ...... I will call it D.[esmodium] Rigidum -- for it is likely to be intermediate bet.[ween] no 16 [Desmodium ciliare, Desmodium number 16 in Gray's Manual] and no 11 [Desmodium paniculatum, number 11 in Gray's Manual], though imperfectly described." Gray's Manual of his time states that Desmodium rigidum is intermediate between numbers 16 and 10. Unpublished pasage and note ex litt.. R. L. Angelo, Mar. 13, 2018]
