Encloses specimen of Smith's 'Rosa spinosissima var. pedunculis aculeatis' for possible inclusion in "English botany"; observations, including differences with 'R. spinosissima'. Asks if Smith ever received his specimen of 'Fontinalis falcata'.

[Olof] Swartz has informed him he has found specimen of a 'Pyrola' of Rivinus and has named it 'P. chlorantha'; has a specimen of this doubtful specimen in his herbarium, gathered in Durham.
