Sir James Edward Smith, Norwich, [Norfolk], to Georg Wolfgang Franz Panzer

Summary

He does not have a spare specimen of 'Saxifraga palmata'; it is identical to 'Saxifraga decipiens' in Ehrhart's "Herba exsiccata" and "Fasciscules", plant of same name in "Flora Danica" dubious. Apologises for writing on a single sheet, which is on account of the enormous postal charges. 'Schmidtia subtilis' is entirely new to him and most acceptable.
