To J. D. Hooker 18 September [1881]1
Down Beckenham
Sept. 18th
My dear Hooker.
Frank has searched the bank for Herminium, but it is quite out of all possibility to find such plants amidst the surrounding vegetation. It is not easy to see them even when in full flower. We could get plants for the Comte next summer.—2
I have written to Senr. Furtado to send his mountain plants from St. Michele in the Azores to you & have asked him whether he wants a list of the names.— I have told him about the buried cypresses, of which I had never heard.—3
You must be fearfully busy with your right-hand man away.4
Ever yours | Ch. Darwin
