Summary:
Requests 'Protea' seeds in addition to the 'Erica' ones he already requested from the Cape . He has been looking over [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert's Cape specimens; starting to consider 'Protea' superior to 'Erica'; more and more astonished at botanical riches of the Cape; expects more from Sir George Young [(1732-1810), naval officer]. Asks if the Botany Bay plant Lee calls 'Hibiscus' is properly named yet; gave plant to local nursery man but missed it in flower. Last autumn busy gathering hardy herbaceous plants. Enquires after "Flora Graeca", anxious to see it.
