Summary:

Sends local 'Salix' specimens which may not be in "Flora Britannica"; believes the genus deserves a separate treatise on account of their "very great oeconomical uses". Has studied the genus for 4 years but has been unable to fix their characters, which he leaves to Smith; explains his specimen notes [extant]. Requests cuttings of 'S. rubra', 'S. croweana', 'S. nigricans', 'S. petiolaris', and 'S. mollissima' [Smith annotation: "will send them, & others, also our 'fragilis'"]. Requests Smith's opinion on the specimens he has sent.

Numbered, detailed observations on 11 'Salix' specimens, with annotations by Smith [5 pp].
