Summary:
Queries on nomenclature of several plants: is the blue monkshood the '[Aconitum] napellus' or '[Aconitum] cammarum'; is the common London tuft 'Dianthus barbatus' or '[Dianthus] carthusianorum'; asks for the name of the plant he encloses [not extant].
Smith has annotated his responses in the margin, confirming 'Acontium napellus', 'Dianthus barbatus' and has sent 'Dianthus carthusianorum', and Rose's specimen is 'Melaleuca scoparia'.
