To J. D. Hooker 27 January [1873]
Summary
Drosophyllum arrived; none of his observations turned out as he expected, but nevertheless he understands its habits better than he did. The secreting hairs that he observed may be explained as a mere chemical reaction.
Comments on various articles he has read.
Asks for Thiselton-Dyer’s notes.
