LINNEAN3334

From:
John Stackhouse
To:
Sir James Edward Smith
Date:
13 Nov 1800
Source of text:
GB-110/JES/COR/9/68, The Linnean Society of London
Summary:

Thanks for Smith's hospitality at Norwich. Discusses the 'Byssus barbata' figured in "English Botany": after viewing Lady Elizabeth Noel's specimen believes that [James] Sowerby's and [William] Withering's are different species. Believes that there is a oversight in the literature stating that 'Byssus fulva' is a 'B. barabata', compounded by Dillenius, [William] Hudson, [John] Ray, and [William] Withering all repeating this. Sends a drawing of 'Byssus fulva' [not extant] and makes general observations taken from "Flora Anglica" on the genus 'Byssus' and species 'B. fulva' and 'B. barbata'. Spent an evening with Hanbury Williams who remains cheerful but has given up parties.
