Received Smith's letter of 16 September 1818. Parcel of plants for Smith sent via Captain Craigie of the Hadlow. Plans to send specimens of 'Aeginetia indica' and his own 'Aeginetia pedunculata' ([William] Roxburgh's 'Orobanche'). Will send 'Orchideae', including those described by Smith in Rees' "Cyclopedia", such as 'Neottia tortillis' and 'Neottia procera'; some 'Stelides'; and from Smith's "Exotic Botany" 'Epidendrum praecox', 'Epidendrum humile', and 'Orchis gigantea'. Will also send ferns, a parcel of them already sent to [William Jackson] Hooker. Requests Smith to send duplicates of parcels to Sir Joseph Banks, [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert, and [Edward] Rudge.
