To J. D. Hooker 23 October [1873]
Summary
Neptunia is evidently a hopeless case.
Good news that fluid of Nepenthes is acid.
No discovery ever gave him more pleasure than proving a true act of digestion in Drosera.
Has become profoundly interested in Desmodium. Asks whether Frank [Darwin] can look over the whole dried collection of the genus.
Has JDH any seed of Lathyrus nissolia?
