Summary:
Informs and consigns to Smith the description and drawings of the Malabar 'Cardamomum minus' he had made three years ago, including account of its cultivation. James Anderson of Madras had intended for it to be published in Asiatik Researches but the "commotions" which occupied the governor [Sir George Hilario Barlow, 1st Baronet (1762-1847), Governor-General of India, 1805-1807] during the latter months of his administration prevented its publication.
