Comments on Hermann Müller’s article on the structure of Gunnera flowers.
Thanks CD for consenting to present his paper.
Asks whether he may send two or three other tubes [of boiled infusions] to be placed in the open and observed for him.
Is glad CD is working on cross- and self-fertilisation; reports recent works of botanists, notably Thomas Meehan’s ["Are insects any material aid to plants in fertilisation?", Philadelphia Press 13 Aug 1875], in which the importance of cross-fertilisation is denied.
About a Polish edition of Variation.
Sends list for complimentary copies and suggests various arrangements related to publication of Climbing plants.
Thinks a revised edition of Orchids is needed.
