Thanks for plants

and case of sleeping Crotalaria.

"Bloom" for the present has "gone to the dogs".

Has failed with his experiments on aerial roots.

Structure of some "very curious" tendrils.

Wants a plant that shows interesting sleep movements identified.

Wants some seeds to see how certain seedlings break through ground.

Wants cryptogam identified; has been observing its movements.

Wants seedling of Quercus rubra or Q. coccinea.

Wants a plant identified;

would like some cotton seeds.

Movement of cotton plant cotyledons.

Thanks JDH for his praise of Erasmus Darwin.

Delighted that JDH is thinking about geographical distribution, wishes he would go over the New Zealand flora again.

Wants some apheliotropic plants for experiments.

Discusses germination of charlock after a long interval.

JDH Should do as he sees fit about proposing him [John Scott] [for fellowship of the Linnean Society].

Is much vexed about Drosera.

Land-level changes and volcanic activity.

Thanks Hooker and Darwin for the money to emigrate to India to work.

Thanks for present of

Asks for details about microscope parts.

Wants FD to ask Hooker for species of Desmodium; CD believes he has found new movements.

Also ask whether Hooker has Drosophyllum.

Hopes to get another species of Desmodium from Mr Rollisson.

Lists plants in which he is interested, including Neptunia and Mimosa species.

Do any strictly tropical plants have glaucous leaves?

Asks for observations on irritable plants.

Discusses experiments and observations on pitchers [of Nepenthes]. Suggests procedures for JDH to follow.

Any plant of any family with a terminal or with any lateral leaflets greatly reduced would be interesting to CD for studying spontaneous movements.

Has not received Eucalyptus or Acacia plants from Rollisson.

Suggests experiment and observations to carry out on pitcher [of Nepenthes].
