Summary:
Two coloured drawings each of flowers of 'Ophrys arachnites' and 'Ophrys apifera'.
Disappointed not to see Smith in London, wished to show him drawing of 'Ophrys arachnites' from Lord Valentia's [George Annesley] collection, originally from Switzerland; thinks it distinct from 'Ophrys apifera', drawings of each, corrections for "English botany", description of 'O. arachnites'. Observations on 2 hothouse annuals currently flowering: 'Mollugo stricta' and a new plant which came as 'Nama repens'. Found a new species of 'Carex' in his woods; observations.
