Summary:
Difficulties of Smith's new work ["Flora Graeca"]. If beginning his botanical pursuits again he would make a work comprising the new or rare plants he has introduced; the next best thing he could do was to keep his collection as open to possible to draughtsmen such as [Ferdinand Lucas] Bauer [(1760-1826), botanical artist] and [James] Sowerby, and [Henry Charles] Andrews [(fl 1790s-1830s), botanical artist] and [Sydenham Teast] Edwards [(1768-1819), botanical artist], though the former two have not had cause to use it. Initially averse to his name being given to any genus. He has not been so abundant in new plants since cutting of his communications with the Cape.
