From W. E. Darwin 2 August [1862]1
Southampton
Aug 2.
My Dear Father,
I send off the 3 kinds of Lythrum, but I foolishly forgot moss, till I had not time to get any, so if they come withered I must send some more.2 I got these at a different place to the ones I had examined & I find the proportion of Mp’s much greater than before, at least 3 or 4 to 1 of either of the other, I only judge this from hunting about for Lps and Sps. the Mps seemed to grow in large clumps together.
