Lo siento mi cunado que estas deprimido. :-( Si, es muy deficil para escribir
un papel cuando no te gusta su sujeto/tema. Creas que estes terminar su
thesis? Mi mama dijo que estas terminar en el otono, es verdad?

Yo soy escribir tambien. Yo tengo dos papeles mas para escribir, pero no son
tan deficil que su papel(was that the correct use of tan?).

Anyway, don't worry about the pills for now. Greg and I decided to go off the
pill and see how that affects my sex drive, which is very low at this point.
I think part of it may also have to do with stress, doesn't everything.

Buen suerte en su papel! Tu eres muy inteligente y puedes hacer su papel
sin problemas, yo creo que si.

Adios y hola a mi hermanita.

This may sound strange but could you describe what you mean by "milled"
Sphagnum?

Having had a long career in botany, I would guess that Taylor has written several regional monographs. Off the top of my head I know he has an account of the Lentibulariaceae of Trinidad and Tobago. No doubt there are many other smaller works.

As Paul wrote, TAYLOR is 724 pages long. This is a dense botanical work, not for the casual reader. It took a while for me to get comfortable with it---it requires learning a lot of jargon. Calyx, corolla, pedicel, peduncle is just the start. Time to get familiar with setulae, distal palates, persistent testa, basisolute bracteoles and rhizoids!
