Summary:
Account of his discovery of a new species of a red 'Paeonia' on Steep Holme [in Bristol Channel]. Was unable to gather specimens but did procure seed pods and roots, these are available to Smith. Two old fishermen living nearby have confirmed gathering the same plants between 60 and 70 years ago. Also has cloves of 'Allium ampeloprasum' from same island should Smith want them.
