General
Draft of letter to Guettard, member of the Académie. Having read the memoir of M. … sur l’arction [i.e. Arctium] of Dioscorides, M. Adanson notes that the author neglected to make some of the corrections, additions, and cancels indicated [by Adanson], and that his conclusion contradicts what Adanson had told him. Adanson returns the memoir to Guettard as unfit for presentation to the Académie, asking him to consider the objections raised and to accept the rejection he will request of the Académie as rapporteur of this paper. 26 Accompanied by two leaves (3 pp.) of Adanson’s description of the genus and one species of [Arctium]. Originally filed in Dictionnaire de botanique under Arction.
