30 June 1826

My dear Sir,

I embrace the opportunity w ch. Ld Palmerstons frank affords, of sending you a specimen of a new British plant– I am sorry the spec n. is so small but the person who gathered it sent me only poor specimens– A figure & description of its habitat will shortly appear in Curtis British Entomology which is a monthly publication illustrated with drawings of British plants– It comes from the rocks about the Great Ormes-head in Wales – & is indisputably wild & a native–

I also enclose a specimen or two of Chara gracilis which I see is one of your desiderata. I have just added it to our Cambridge flora– It was not in flower when I found it, but I shall visit the spot again soon & if I find more (& in blossom) will put by specimens for you–

Believe me | very sincerely y r. | J. S. Henslow
