Returning the plants DO had sent him from Kew
The generic name Genlisea must be preserved for Utriculariaceae with five-part calyces.
CD’s observations [for Insectivorous plants] seem to indicate that the same species of Genlisea may bear two kinds of bladders, so he asks for rhizomes and leaves of three species to test this possibility.
Asks DO to return enclosed post-card with locality of Genlisea aurea specimen that DO had sent.
