Description
Harvey congratulates Hooker on being appointed director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and asks if Arnott will succeed him at Glasgow. Harvey has been doing little work besides an article he encloses for the journal along with specimens of Choristylis and Raphionacme. He shall soon send C. rhamnoides and is glad that Arnott is publishing his notes on Cape genera in the journal, though he does mention some of Harvey’s mistakes surrounding determinations such as Apodytes and Methyscophyllum. Harvey has been corresponding Rev. J. Brownlee who has sent him specimens of Choristylis and Brownleea, the latter of which he has sent on to Dr. Lindley. He hasn’t heard from Zeyher and Bowie has been dismissed by Baron Ludwig for drunkenness. Page 1 of 2.
