Encloses dried specimens of the rye; when in flower will make magnified drawing of the corolla. The garden more ordered now though unsure how long they will remain here. Asks for the name of the "Malay Tree" which distills a "pure liquid like water" when the branches are cut. Seeds damaged by the rains. Cuttings from his plant of 'Neicum grandiflosum' thrive well.

Report on the flora of Corfu, although his explorations have not yet extended beyond the city: orange and olive trees loaded with fruit and berries, "gigantic" 'Arundo donax' and 'Cactus opuntia' "diversify the prospect".

Calendar of flora for 31 March, 2 April, and 4 April listing growth and flowering of various plants, including plants not in the "Prodomus Florae Graecae" [the calendar is transcribed in Pleasance Smith's transcription and also online via University of Glasgow, see PubInNote below].
