To J. D. Hooker 28 June 1873
Summary
Thanks for Dionaea.
George Bentham’s last Linnean Society [Presidential] Address [Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond. (1873): viii–xxix]. Admires it greatly.
CD’s recent work leads him to a different theory [from GB’s] on the separation of the sexes of plants.
Huxley has been at Down working with CD on Drosera – very helpful.
