Dear Sir

I cannot help thinking you are in error ¹ with respect to Orlaya grandiflora, the Caucalis grandiflora of Linnæus ² – I enclose a specimen of the Orlaya, collected by myself, somewhere in Italy I believe, but the memorandum of the locality is lost. If you have not got the species in your herbarium, pray keep it; if otherwise you can take some opportunity of returning it. –

I hope you received the slip of paper with Martius’s ³ announcement respecting Brazil plants.

Believe me Yours very truly
H. F. Talbot
