PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. 
“ Norwich, March 4th, 1785. 
Dear Sir, 
“ I reed your favour, and as it may be saving you some 
trouble I have made out a list of the most obvious plants 
which occur’d in the Flora, some at least doubttul & others 
which one would be glad to know in order to determine the 
other species of the Genus. As I have not Syst. Vegetab. 
there may be many emendations which I know nothing ab’t ; 
your list will probably contain my plants & some more ; these 
you may please to insert in mine, & at your leisure mark my 
list off by yours. I wou’d not meddle with the Crypt, class 
as it would be endless, but you' will doubtless run thro’ the 
more obvious part. 
I have taken the liberty to trouble you with a letter to 
Mr. Hudson in answer to his, & have enclosed him the new 
Rubus as he desired. I have mentioned in my letter to him 
that I did not know whether you cou’d call upon him ; but if 
you chuse to do it I have prepared him for your reception, so 
do as you like. If you have time I think I wou’d see him. I 
am sorry I gave you unnecessary trouble abt. the Corrigiola. 
It is a new English genus which you will find in Sp. PI. 388, 
& a (‘ pretty ’ erased) good fig. in Hist. Ox. 593, sect. 5, 
tab. 29, f. I. 
“ If you see Mr. Hudson endeavour to make out what his 
Carex inflata is, as I am pretty sure we don’t know it. 
Gratnen cyperoid majus prcecox, &c., R. Syn. 420, which he 
makes a synonym of C. Vesicar, but falsely (as the b. is the 
true one) is what Mr. Bryant & we all call’d Bottle Carex , 
& so it is as to the shape of the capsules, but it certainly is 
not ye plant intended in FI. Ang. If ours, therefore, is not 
a variety of vesicaria (to which I cannot speak), it is a 
nondescript, likewise what his Rumex paludosus is. I have 
desired him to send me, when he finds them, Anthemis arvensis, 
Matricaria inodora, Rumex paludosus, & Carex inflata. 
“ I do not find in Sp. PI. that Linnaeus makes Chenop. viride 
a variety of album, but it may be altered in Syst. Vegetab. I 
once more wish you & Mr. Stone a good journey, & shall be
