My dear Dyer
The plants arrived all save & will be very useful.2 They are kinds which, as I formerly ascertained, move much quicker to than from the light, but I suspect do not change their centre of rotation (i.e. do not bend towards light), & this is a curious point, which I am anxious to ascertain.3 The Anoda will also be very useful, & you have sent me a prodigious supply of Trifolium seeds—4
Many thanks | Ever yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
