To Daniel Oliver 19 October [1874]
Summary
Returns insectivorous plants to Kew, with questions about their range. Most species seem to have remarkably confined ranges.
Asks for a Bengal Aldrovanda leaf so that he can see whether it differs from the German species.
Roridula interested him extremely.

Asks four favours: sort out confusion about the name Byblis gigantea or grandiflora; can he see dried specimens of Genlisea ornata; is there a more recent list of Drosera spp. than Steudel 1841; are there at Kew any dried specimens of Utricularia montana collected from the plant’s native haunts.
