Summary:

Thanks for specimens. Asks if [John] Lightfoot's annotated copy of [William] Hudson's "Flora Anglica" is still for sale at White's. [Thomas] Woodward agrees with him that his 'Carex caespitosa' is not 'C. gracilis' in a small state, as Smith and [Samuel] Goodenough think; observations. Sent Goodenough two specimens of a possible 'Galium isuliginosum'. Thanks for Smith's notes on 'Dianthus glaucus'; observations. Sending "smallest known" 'Potamogeton', possibly Hudson's 'P. setacea', and possible 'Lichen pertusus'.
Specimen label attached with note "'Mucor infusorius' Lee", no specimen extant.
