| Description | Apologises for delay in sending L'Héritier's works, "but the fault is not in me but in the French revolution, which has turned the head of our friend [...] & made him turn tail upon us botanists". Other European publications, including by Cavanilles and Labillardière. Sends "Flora Lapponica" and Swartz' "Prodromus".
