Dear Sir
My Friend the Rev d Clutton will with this give you a list of the Flora of the part of the country where I reside. I do not know whether I am right in putting down so many of the more common plants, by my wish was to give you a general list of the plants, that you may form some idea of what this country affords. I have a great many duplicates of some of the above plants, & whatever you may wish to have I shall be most happy to send you, or if I have them not by me― I shall be enabled to procure them next year for you― Cambridgeshire is I should suppose rich in the bog & water plants, any specimens that you can send me, which are not in the accompanying list I shall feel greatly obliged to you for, and I shall at all times be happy in sending you what number of duplicates you might wish for. I sent up to the Naturalists magazine some time since a list of the Flora in my neighbourhood, but I do not know whether ye Editor will make use of it―
Believe me to remain | very sincerely &c. | Andrew Bloxam

I have several duplicates of the Viola lutea and Chrysosplenium alternifolium from the neighbourhood of Ludlow, where also I found the Aconitum napellus growing in great abundance on the banks of a little stream called the "Letwyche" which runs into the Teme. Amongst the mosses found in this neighbourhood are the Trichostomum lanuginosum, Bryum turbinatum. Hypnum dendroides, H. cordifolium. Polytrichum juniperinum & about 40 other different kinds.
Additional plants. Ornithopus perpusillus, Brionia dioica, Solanum nigrum, Nardus stricta, Arabis thaliana
