Now thinks the 'Saxifraga palmata' he sent last year is more likely 'S. hypnoides'; observations.

Thanks for Linnean Society application certificate. Desirous of seeing Smith's "Flora Britannica" before he publishes account of his Welsh Tour, as he wishes to insert list of habitats of rare Cambrian plants as useful tool for young botanists making same tour.
