Climbing plants.
Requests seeds of Echinocystis lobata for Hugo de Vries.
CD cannot say he cares greatly about his election to the Institut but he does care for the sympathy of his friends.
Will look to Smilax when he returns to Down.
Regrets the insecurity of the identification of fossil leaves.
He has heard that De Bary has cultivated Utricularia with and without aquatic animals and that the plants that have been fed flourished "in a stupendous manner".
It would be false to pretend he cares very much about his election to the Institut.
Glad to hear GdeS plans to publish a work on the more ancient fossil plants. Hopes he will report also on the more recent Tertiary forms because the close gradation of such forms is "a fact of paramount importance for the principle of evolution".
Enjoyed seeing HdeV yesterday.
Following the point mentioned by HdeV, CD has observed the difference in corrugation of primary roots in plants exposed to dry and damp soil.
CD made an honorary member of the Royal Society for Medical and Natural Sciences of Brussels.
