My dear Baron

Many thanks for description of new Plant, & also for corrections in my slips.2 Whenever the work is printed, I shall most thankfully avail myself of them.

Mrs Kennedy3 has lately sent our friend Mr Wilkinson4 some grasses which she collected near Silverton5 during the late favourable season there

I am rather puzzled about the enclosed & send them to you for determination. I do not want them back again, but I will thank you to correct the names for me

Cyperus squarrosus

C. — polystachus6

Panicum helopus

P. — Gilesii

P. — Indicum

Diplachne loliiformis7

Chrysopogon gryllus8

Eleusine verticillata

You will much oblige me by looking at these

Yours very sincerely

W. Woolls
