Summary:
Encloses further specimens, numbered observations: 1. an 'Aira' [Smith annotation: "In HL from Lapl[an]d. I think it new 'A. vivipara' JES"]; 2. 'Erigeron uniflorum' [Smith annotation: "right"]; 3. new 'Saxifraga'; 4. a 'Saxifraga' the same as his no.4 in letter of 17 December 1808; 5. 'Geum' close to 'G. rivale' [Smith annotation: 'rivale?'].
Necessity for someone with books and botanical knowledge to publish a monograph on palmated 'Saxifraga'; difficulty of recognising the species in "Flora Britannica". Asks Goodenough to forward this letter to Dr [James Edward] Smith.
