From J. D. Hooker 23 March 1867
Summary
More on Naudin’s hybrid; the wonder lessened slightly.
JDH’s view that insular plants [distantly] related to those of continents are common came to him only after the lecture was in print; has not yet thought it out fully.
Moroccan flora may throw some light on Madeira flora.

To J. D. Hooker 24 [March 1867]
Summary
Returns Charles Naudin’s letter with its case in support of CD’s view of impregnation.
Twits JDH for trying to wriggle out of error made in his lecture and admires his "candour in letting the rat out of the bag". [See 5449 and 5451.]
