Summary:

Some time ago sent a living specimen of a new species of 'Astragalus' to Sir Joseph Banks but never received any answer regarding it.

At the top of the letter Smith has written a Latin description under 'Dianthus hyssopifolius', and stating that in his answer he said it may be called 'Dianthus diffusus' or the preferred 'Dianthus hyssopifolius'.
