Thanks for copy of Cross and self-fertilisation.
Francis Darwin’s observation of nectaries in Pteris is most curious.
Doubts cross-fertilisation in the rare cases of two flowers on the same stalk in Victoria and Euryale.
Sends papers on graft-hybrids ["Sur les hybrides obtenus par la greffe", Bull. Congr. Int. Bot. & Hortic. Amsterdam (1865): 65–80, and "Über Mischlinge, durch Pfropfen entstanden", Sitzungsber. K. Phys.-oekon. Ges. Königsberg 6 (1865): 11–21].

Plans to come to Down on 27 May.
Discusses the flowers of, and cross- and self-fertilisation in, certain aquatic plants. Gives cases of dichogamy and perfect self-fertility.
Finds important differences between English and German versions of Variation on graft-hybrids.
Experiments and observations on submerged flowers.
