Informed by his friend Sellackie of Smith's intention of publishing the "Flora Britannica" in English soon ["English Flora"]. Induced to send specimens of the large 'Rhinanthus' described by [John] Ray, which grows plentifully on Stockton Common; its differences from 'Rhinanthus crista-galli'. Found two species of 'Myostis' in this neighbourhood [Yorkshire] agreeing with Hooker's 'M. sylvatica'; offers descriptions and specimens, and Yorkshire habitats for rare plants.

Characters of 'Rhianthus crista-galli' and 'Rhianthus rayi'.

Asks Smith to procure her two or three lemon trees for her conservatory. Hopes to see Smith in London, and in better health than when he and Mr Ives last met.
