Summary
Thanks JDH for box of melastomes
and a very valuable reference from Daniel Oliver.

Pollen of Bletia hyacinthina is quite unlike other Bletia species but exactly the same as Epipactis.

To J. D. Hooker 25 February [1862]
Summary
Admires JDH’s paper on Arctic plants ["Distribution of Arctic plants", Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond. 23 (1862): 251–348]. Such papers compel people to reflect on modification of species;
JDH will be driven to a cooled globe.
Serious erratum in paper.
New and original evidence in case of Greenland. Its flora requires accidental means of transport by ice and currents.

From J. D. Hooker 27 February 1862
Summary
Pleased at CD’s opinion of his Arctic plants paper. CD has caught great blunder.
Lack of Arctic–Asiatic species in mountains of tropical Asia does not trouble him. Species seem to indicate some "current of migration" from Europe and W. Asia southeastward to Ceylon – an awful staggerer to bridge migrations.
