"I recognised the plant instantly on opening
your Letter, but as we have several species,
I wished to compare the specific characters
with that of the common Cranesbill in this
vicinity. This led me to detect an error in ye
arrangement I have made of this plant in my
botanical paper which I had not before discovered.
I had conceived it to be the Geranium
macrohizum [macrorrhizum], & given it ye characters of ye species
in my paper — but I now find it to be
Geranium maculatum No 57 in Linn. Syst. Veget.
G. pedunculis bifloris, caule dichotomo erecto,
fol. quinquepartitis incisis: summis sessilibus."

"The root of this species of Geranium
is powerfully astringent, & joined with the
marsh Rosemary (Statice Limonium) is a good
medicine in inflamed, ulcerated sore throats
used as a Gargle — as a discutient also in
cases of hard and inflamed swellings, —"

Geranium Moschatum or Mountain Cranesbill
grows in plenty by Coll Collins Black house
& at the Head of the harbour on the hill, &
by the Sea Shore.

Geranium Maculatum grows in dry fields
among bushes as by Tarbox's Lane so called
up in Town: & also West of the burying Ground.
