- Editor's Notes
- "I clipped the enclosed paragraph from a San Francisco paper yesterday and thinking I might be of service to you in your investigation in which I take much interest I wrote to say that in crossing the isthmus of Panama in the Western of 74+5 at a R Road station near the Chagres [?] river the passengers had a few minutes to wait and several of us took a stroll down the road and at one side took a seat on the ground and as we touched the vegetation with which it was covered the leaves and branches all instantly drooped. ### I examined them and found they resembled very closely what I have sun cultivated in flower pots at the East and called the sensation plant the leaves and frankly resembled those of the Occasions true but smaller." Yours truly, John Bachelder [Includes newspaper clipping]
