Transcription
Hotton asks Sloane to send the Royal Society’s most recent index. He discusses the publishing of the late John Ray’s work and the possibility of someone writing a biography of him. The ‘lilio-narcissus Japonicus’ has been flourishing in Hotton’s garden. Peter Hotton (1648-1709), also known as Petrus Houttuyn, was Professor of Botany and Medicine at Leiden University. He supervised the university’s botanic gardens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrus_Houttuyn).
