Thanks her for specimen of Drosera. Asks for an epiphytic Utricularia.
Returns a Drosera, from which he cut a piece for microscopic examination.
Utricularia montana just arrived.
CD has never before seen the Utricularia DN has sent. Hooker had told him about it. Asks that her gardener observe young Utricularia: CD is interested in internal structure of little balls on bladders.
Sends photograph.
Stupidly missed Utricularia bladders, which he assumed were with the leaves. Has now found true bladders on roots and has evidence of captive prey. Thinks bladders capture subterranean insects. Thinks the large bladder-like structures are water reservoirs. DN’s plant has given him a most enjoyable day of work.
