Summary:
Thanks for parcel of herrings. [William] Roxburgh's collection of plants in London, is working on his "Flora Indica". Roxburgh informed that [Francis] Buchanan is on the way home with the Marquess [Richard Colley Wellesley, 1st Marquess Wellesley (1760-1842) Governor-General of India, 1798-1805]. Has received specimen of 'Fabricia laevigata' in flower. Sir Jospeh Banks is recovered and in the library again. Comments on the "charming plants" in Smith's last two numbers [probably "Exotic Botany"] but informed by [Robert] Brown that there is already a a genus given to [Etienne Pierre] Ventenat in a "Flora of Benin" published in Paris so likely Ventenat has already approved of it.
