no public library that cares a sixpence for

[John] Lindley has published a figure of Pterospora
in his Collectanea botanica a work I do not

printed a monograph of the genus Pyrola
in the 5th vol. Part I of Wernerian Transactions.
He has 15 species of which 2 are undescribed.

You do not mention a letter which I forwarded
to you from Mr. Bentham above a

I think I also named him in one of my
