Summary:
Sent [Dawson] Turner and [James] Sowerby specimens of new 'Carex' in flower. Gathered plants of new 'Carex' in 1797 from Cronkley Mountain, but thinks [James] Dickson should still be credited as its discoverer so as not to set a precedent; concedes that Mr Oliver discovered 'Gentiana verna' some years before he did. Proposes name 'C. rupta' for new 'Carex', small sketch in ink of arillus; [William] Brunton thinks it a 'Schoenus'.
Confirms the lichens he sent Smith are 'Lichen tartarius' and 'L. turneri'; observations on these and other lichens he sent Smith. List of cryptogamic and 'Carex' desiderata [some items have been ticked by Smith].
