To:

Sent to location:
Norwich, Norfolk
Summary:
Unsure if the packet of dried plants he sent Smith March [1804] has reached England yet. Sending another small collection of plants, and if and when he is settled as a missionary here he will send for his herbarium and be more forthcoming with specimens. Sending drawing and description [both extant] of 'Polyandria' ['Magnoliaceae'], the drawing is by [Elizabeth Gwillim (1763-1807)], wife of Sir Henry Gwillim, Justice of the Supreme Court of Jurisdiction at Madras; Lady Gwillim says she has sent a living plant to England. Sorry Smith's parcel to him of 1802 was lost.
Description of 'Polyandria enneagynia' [see RelatedMaterial below for drawing].
