Letter from Sir James Edward Smith to M. L'Heritier in Paris

Smith thanks L'Heritier for publications on two new plants. He disputes the novelty of one of these and accepts the other, 'Virgilia'. Smith also discusses finds of 'my neighbour Frazer' on a recent visit to North America. L'Heritier has been made a foreign member of 'our new Linnean Society'.

There is a Ms note in a different hand concerning a species of geranium.
