List of 95 species; some marked by Smith.

List of 59 species, in Smith's hand, titled "sent also".

Introduces himself and sends a few specimens from Georgia at the request of John Fraser. Also sends the root of an unknown palm from East Florida with a sample of the starch procured from it, knowledge of which having come from the Seminole Indians. Has an extensive collection of Georgian specimens but is anxious to know which plants are also native to Europe. Refers to a desiderata and requests 'Convolvulus salopa', for reason of it generally being supposed to be Michaux's 'Ipomoea macrorhiza'. From experiments has deduced that 'I. macrorhiza' possesses no purgative qualities and may be eaten like 'C. batatas'.
