Alteration to the title of his "Hortus"; his printer "very dilatory, stupid, and troublesome"; agrees to alteration of genera in the cryptogamia, other queries, including whether to insert his plants from Botany Bay.
Account of plants collected from his excursion in Glamorganshire and Cornwall, including: 'Asplenium marinum', 'Pinguicula villosa', 'Erica vagans', 'Anthericum ossifragum', 'Triglochin palustre', 'Littorella lacustris', 'Sison inundatum', 'Bartsia viscosa', 'Cuscuta europea', and an 'Anselea'/'Osmunda' never discovered in England before.
Has several young plants in his "H. gippor." coming to fructification and a correspondent in Penzance, [Cornwall], to send him specimens. Has other cryptogamia specimens for Smith if he calls at Ipswich on return to London, including 'Corrigiola littoralis' for [James] Sowerby. 'Capparis frondosa' flowered with him.
Thanks for East India seeds. Asks Smith's opinion of the non-generic 'Glaucium', if there is a genus 'Codarium', if Smith ever met with 'Rumex vivparus' or 'Ornithogalum triquetrum'.
