          have flowered here, for the first time in
Europe. The flower is as large as R.[?]
but a fine scarlet-crimson like that
of Azalea indica. It will be the finest 
thing in Hooker's Exot. Flora.

[Hast?] is about to publish a folio work
of plates of Salices in the same style 
as his grasses. The first part is nearly
ready. If well done it will be truly
valuable for the species are in a glorious
confusion.

Can you send me specimens of any of the 
oaks which I have not. In my herbarium are
only the following: Q [Quercus] montana obtusilobata coccifera
[?] Ilex coccinea sessiliflora ilicifolia
robur alba phellos nigra. I am puzzled between
coccinea & rubra but of the latter I have on authentic
specimen & shd be [?] obliged to you
for one.

I have enclosed specimens of the mosses
described in my paper & remain
My dear friend
Very faithfully yours
R.K. Greville
