Mimosa prostrata, described by John Lindley as M. marginata, native of Brazil.
Who supplies CD with distilled water and chemicals?
Describes work on Nepenthes – more difficult than Drosera.
Has written to Dublin for a Drosophyllum.
Describes his experiments on Nepenthes; finds action analogous to that in Drosera.
Sends plant specimens.
