Darwin, Charles Robert

Darwin-Hooker Letters

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Obliged for information on <i>Mimosa albida</i>; if a vigorous plant behaves as JDH says, CD’s notions are all knocked on the head.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Anxious to read Tyndall’s answer to Tait [<i>Nature</i> 8 (1873): 399].</p><p style='text-align: justify;'><i>Drosera</i> story too long for his strength. Essentially the leaves act just like stomach of an animal.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Burdon Sanderson will give some grand facts at BAAS about <i>Dionaea</i>.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Offers to help JDH with <i>Nepenthes</i> experiments. Finds experimental work always takes twice as much time as anticipated.</p>
