And now my dear friend I thought I have finished these extracts and have almost
done so but I must reserve a little space to tell you that all friends here are [?]
as to Botanical news. There is little or none—Lindley is getting up a second edition of his introduction
to the natural system, and is begin a catalogue raisonne of all the known genere under
each order this will be an excellent thing. Hooker, you know, is busy with his compendium
to the  Botanical magazine which can be had separately from that work and which for its
cheapness ough to be patronised. Benthan has published a good synopsis generum Scrophuli
nearum in the Botanical register (the number for June last), and has since given to the world a pamphlet
containing a synopsis of all the [insert: E.] Indian species of that order, with remarks on some

[address panel]

of the N. American genera as primulus and other orthocarpus. Were you aware that Nuttal's Conradia
is the macranthera of LeConte? it is M. fuschioides Benth. I had lately two long letters from Dr. Wight. He is accumulating
vast treasures every day; all of which I expect soon to be sent to me for distribution.
I am sorry to inform you that he has now discovered that his supposed new genus near
Batoburghia is Spodiopogon pilosus N. ab E. of which a fragment was only previously known.
He had called it Nuttia and then absurdly changed it to Ischeemum. So much for working
with that most confused and useless work. Kunth's emumeratio. Wight has now got a noble
supply of Holboellia ornithocephala from the sea coast near Tuiticorean so that he now 
suspects the place where he gathered it first was near Cape Comorin and not where he supposed
and as stated by Hooker in the Bot. Miscellany. But I must now conclude. Mrs. Arnott is
at present quite well though expecting to be laid up in spring. She joins in best respects
to Mrs. Torrey. I hope you still hold to your projected journey in Europe this present year and
that you are to visit me here. Yours very truely. G. Walker Arnott.
