Summary:
Sorry to hear of Smith's indifferent health in the "severe" winter. Botanical queries: asks if there are any species of 'Malaxia' other than 'M. paludosa'; what is "peat-moss"; is 'Brassica muralis' to remain or be reclassified a 'Sisymbrium'; what is the species of 'Geoffraea', now 'Hopea', Smith saw in his hothouse; which seeds of syngenes flowers to make trial of; are there plants called 'Aristolochia nigra' or 'A. hyeanalis'; what is new name for 'Osmunda crispa' and 'O. struthiopteris', is it now 'Davallia canariensis'. Found 'Hesperis inodosa' near Falmouth, [Cornwall].
