Summary:

Thanks for specimen of 'Lichen aurantiacus' sent by [James] Dickson, asks if [William] Hudson acknowledges it as his 'L. flavo-rubescens', requests to see his 'L. ferrugineus'. Plants found by Dickson in Norfolk: 'Selinum palustre', 'Litorella lacustris' discussion of latter. Hudson thinks [Thomas] Woodward's new 'Lycoperdon' is an imperfect 'Agaricus procerus'. Encloses specimen of [Henry] Bryant's Cossey plant, believes it 'Jungermannia pinguis'; observations.

Notes for Smith to transmit to Hudson on specimens he sent Hudson for determination, including: 'Agaricus dubius', 'Boletus suaveoleus', and others.
