Summary:

Unsure if the packet of dried plants he sent Smith March [1804] has reached England yet. Sending another small collection of plants, and if and when he is settled as a missionary here he will send for his herbarium and be more forthcoming with specimens. Sending drawing and description [both extant] of 'Polyandria' ['Magnoliaceae'], the drawing is by [Elizabeth Gwillim (1763-1807)], wife of Sir Henry Gwillim, Justice of the Supreme Court of Jurisdiction at Madras; Lady Gwillim says she has sent a living plant to England. Sorry Smith's parcel to him of 1802 was lost.

Description of 'Polyandria enneagynia' [see RelatedMaterial below for drawing].

Summary:

[This letter is marked as a duplicate; Rottler's letter of 3 March 1807 [see RelatedMaterial below] mentions his sending a copy of this letter to Smith.]

Encloses duplicate of letter he sent 2 September 1805 [see RelatedMaterial]. Sending another small collection of plants, some of which are from Mysore and Ceylon, including: 'Ophiorhiza mungos'; believes one of the specimens is a new tree genus 'Galari maram', describes it; thinks two of the Ceylon plants are currently undescribed. Hopes Smith has received the "Gullimia" [drawing of a 'Polyandria by Elizabeth Gwillim, wife of Sir Henry Gwillim, Justice of the Supreme Court of Jurisdiction at Madras] and other dried specimens he sent earlier in the year.
