Summary:

Accepts Smith's invitation to visit Norwich next year to examine Linnaeus' herbarium. Is about to visit the Ionion Islands to study the local flora, intends to take Smith's "Prodomus Florae Graecae" and asks for any other recommendations. Asks if there is any particular family or genus of plants to look out for. Collected many duplicates on his last tour of Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Carinthia, including a 'Lilium pumilum' exactly resembling the figure in Loddiges' "Botanical Cabinet" tab 358; and 'Fritillaria lutea' of Marschall von Bieberstein at an elevation of 5000 feet in alpine meadow of Col de Tende, only place hitherto observed in Europe. Currently has a collector in Sardinia.
