Thanks are sent for letters, specimens and seeds received from Sir William Hooker. Mr. Bennett intends to send a case of native plants on the ship ‘Coquette’ in the care of Captain Bruce. He also sends a paper entitled ‘Botany of St. Helena’ contributed by his friend Lefroy. He describes a plant he thinks must be a species of Foucroya, called locally ‘English aloe’ that has a similar method of producing offspring to the Yellow Lily of England, bulbs of this plant are included in the aforementioned case. The case, he writes, also contains Mikania arborea, Acalypha rubra, Erodium semproivum[?] and Bombeya euphroxylon as well as some few of the seeds requested. He requests that Sir William sends him certain specific seeds in return. Page 2 of 4.
