Reports success of hybrid cross with Vallota and the failure of another cross.
Asks whether GG can provide a few fresh specimens of Goodyera.
Thanks GG for specimens of Goodyera. The rostellum structure is near to that of Epipactis and CD is almost certain that the action is the same.
Asks whether GG can help CD get specimens of Corallorhiza.
Thanks GG for his efforts. Corallorhiza would be most valuable.
Leaves for Torquay on 1 July.
Thanks GG for his great kindness about Corallorhiza. CD will try to get plants from J. H. Balfour.
Apologises for trespassing on GG’s kindness again. Believes there is a new point of structure in Listera cordata and asks GG to send specimens if it is still in flower.
