My dear Mr Darwin/
I have gone over our specimens of Genlisea & put the results in the enclosed little capsules.1
—Also of the genus Polypompholyx (limited to two W. Australian species) I have put in some fragments. This genus differs technically from Utricularia simply in its 4-segmented calyx2
Very truly yours | D. Oliver.
