From:
Woodward, Thomas Jenkinson
Sent from:
Bungay, Suffolk
To:
Smith, Sir James Edward
Summary:
Sends new Bungay halfpenny for Miss [Sarah Sophia] Banks [(1744-1818)] Keen to know fate of his paper on 'Ulva', and whether Smith thinks 'Fucus foeniculaceus' of Linnaean herbarium is really 'F. concatenatus' of the British authors, and 'F. concatenatus' of the herbarium is a different plant.
Has opened a correspondence with [John] Stackhouse, who intends to publish on marine plants; transcribes a postscript from one of Stackhouse's letters in which he offers to the Linnean Society a specimen and description of new 'Ulva' found at Weymouth, [Devon]; desires to become FLS. Observations on Stackhouse's new 'Ulva punctata'. Stackhouse's anxiety that his [Woodward] and Goodenough's work will supersede his own. Strongly recommends admitting Stackhouse to Linnean Society. Received drawing and description of 'Fucus tomentosa' for his and Goodenough's paper on 'Fucus'.
