Summary:
Encloses a moss he takes to be 'Dicranum strumiferum' of "Flora Britannica" [determined by Smith as 'Bartamia fontana'].
Observations on Smith's remarks on 'Hypericum calycinum' in "English botany" and "Linnean Transactions"; does not think it ought to be considered indigenous; reminds Smith of the instance some years ago when it was thought 'Acorus grammineus' had been found growing wild, later found to be false.
